What would our planet look like?

Post Reply New Topic

If, like the name of this website suggests, we have been transplanted to the wrong planet, what would our home planet look/ be like? What kind of landscapes would it have? What kind of climates? How large would it be? How many countries would it have? What would the people be like? What would the culture and society be?

On the Wrong Planet, each person would have a house, even if the house was the size of a carboard box. The house would be full of their special stuff, with special climate control and surfaces made of the special stuff of your choice that fits whatever your sensory needs are. It would have a special sound system too. The walls could open up to let in more stimulation, or close to block out outer stimulation.

My house would be small but with tons of textbooks on science (mostly medicine / neurology / psychiatry / forensics) and I would bring my computer room with me - it has a computer that my friend and I made from the components upwards, and a microserver and a weather station. My weather station is important. I would also have a good climate control system, triple glazed windows and systems to control light levels. I would also require soundproofing. And I'd need a large common which is safe near me so that I can go cross country running every weekend.

Things would be floating, or it would be a techological landscape to utalize the logical social utopiea rather than it being more socialized.

I would like a house that has one bedroom, the usual stuff, a room for skiing stuff and a room for walking stuff. Also a year round ski resort, that is nice and quiet. Also year round lovely weather area with mountains I can walk in. And plenty of nature. Very few shops, pretty much just an Aldis.

Prisoners instead of being put in isolation will but put in a replica of a crowded 1970's disco

The fringe networking cult will call us 'neurotypicals"

Its a little smaller then earth, but otherwise earth-like with a similar range of temperatures and environmental zones.

Its not densely populated, and building is limited to certain areas, not spread out. That way a good portion of the world is in its natural state and protected.

There is one elected world government, and countries function like states.

Anyway, more seriously, I would say that incarceration of any form ought not to be used unless absolutely necessary. That is, if someone is very violent or cannot be allowed into general society for a very specific and definite reason. At the moment, prisons can't seem to decide whether they're meant to rehabilitate, isolate, or punish people. They also seem very confused about whether they're a public necessity or a private business, unfortunately leaning heavily toward the latter. Anyway, on my Right Planet, "offenses" such as drug use or other victim-less crimes would be decriminalized and/or treated as medical / psychological issues.

I would definitely want my own little home, probably somewhere out in nature, far enough away from any population centers that I could see the stars. I would like to live with a community of some sort, but I would be much more comfortable with a "monkey-sphere" sized group of one or two hundred people, as opposed to a city of millions. In general, I think a decentralized network of small homes and communities linked by electronic communications networks would be ideal. Education would be similarly decentralized, and individualized rather than institutionalized. Oh, and all the streets would be solar roadways, which can power electric cars, and which would also house all electronic infrastructure, as well as water and sewage piping, etc.

Also, the architecture wouldn't be all boring straight lines and squares and phallic towers. Many more curves, organic shapes and materials, and more variety overall.

Oh, and there would be cats in all the walls (at least in my house).

I never thought of it that way that we're not humans so that we need a planet alone, I mean we're still humans, we have many more common things than the uncommon ones, also that planet won't work well because most if not all the people would be having the same mentality, way of thinking, intrests, etc, etc. its like imagining this world with only one form of life, nothing exists without something else supporting its existence. If it was a place with only people on the spectrum no one is going to approach the other, there won't be a society, if we didn't live in a society/around others we wouldn't survive because human settlements began when people joined, if humans didn't join they would get eaten by predators and die easily.

Good books, mild weather, hot asians is a must, pleasant conversations without eye contact, dim lighting everywhere, and our inventions would do everything for us because why do all of the mundane stuff that people do? Why have money as long as you can procure stuff for your special interests, get around, and support yourself? Going to the bar would actually be fun. There would be rooms in the cities that look like large phone booths where you shut out sensory stimulation for a while. People on the low functioning end would be able to play with animals to their heart's content and enjoy sensory rooms (I can see KOR stroking her chickens), when they need help their assistants would be very understanding. We would stim all the time.
