Open question: Am I a sheep because I don't want anarchy?

Why, because I'm thinking for myself, learning, studying, and forming my own opinion instead of blindly agreeing with you?

If your obsessions happen to coincide with the maths, sciences, computers, engineering, or some academic pursuit, it does work out a little better. Counting cards rarely does for long (casinos catch on and kick card counters out).

though card-counting gets you laid more than computers, math, or anything else involving a complex series of abstract concepts that rarely ever enter into anyone's life.

by the way, I said you were sheep for calling me naive, if you actually read it, you'll find a makes a lot of sense. The way it works is through self defense.

What about those people who can't defend themselves? Or who, for example, lack the social skills to do well in voluntary unions?

I watched Rainman once but I didn't watch the whole thing, but I watch Monk often and I really like that show. Yes, he has problems, but he overcomes those problems and catches criminals, something that is very admirable. It shows (to me, at least) that people who have OCD, or are autistic, or what have you, can overcome the difficulties that they have with certain aspects of life and do very meaningful things.

It seems woefully disorganized and inefficient. Relying on self-defense for any sort of societal order? That's just archaic.

Tell you what, if you make a movie about an autistic kid who brings about the collapse of civilization maybe I'll enjoy it.

Eh. By the way, windscar, you seem to like taking rather pointless positions upon entering the debate field. Would you care reforming yourself to be a bit more rational in future postings?

I'm trying to imagine an Aspie country. It would be extremely unorganized. And people would be late for everything.

Really? Are most Aspies disorganized and careless about time? I am very organized and very punctual. Even RIGIDLY punctual.
