It could be a lovely place, but I think you'd find it hard to create a national consciousness amoung people with Aspergers. There's no external threat, and nothing to tie us together that tight. Building a nation requires huge sacrifices from individuals

Aspies are not super-geniuses. We do not have any advantages over NT's. We are not the key to global peace. We are not capable of building the greatest nation ever to exist on Earth...in SEVEN YEARS.

How can you not know how utterly delusional you sound? Even the most militant believers of AS superiority probably think you're ''plans'' are wackjob...

We must do it, or we will perish together with everyone else.

Why the hell are we going to perish?! It's not like we've been restricted from breeding or actively being killed off.

Because rising awareness about us could let to Holocaust conducted upon us in future.

Might be near future, might be far future.

Since the NT;s refuse to accept us as equals, we must build own national conciousness.

I actually believed him for a while. But now I realize that NO ONE could possibly be that delusional. Lol, well played, Zyborg. You had me going there for a bit :wink:

I am not delusional.

If you had asked European Jew in year 1908 if they believe in Zionism, they would have replied "no, you are delusional".

I am not delusional.

I am visionary.

If any mass murder/genocide is going to occur, it won't be against Aspies. We are simply not that important to be on the radar.

In case he is serious, I think we should make an offer for him and other like minded individuals to be sent to start a nation in space...with all that technological genius, I'm sure they'll figure something out :wink: ...

Absolutely. Best solution ever. That way, we can continue to peacefully coexist with the NTs, without the paranoia of the "NTs are eeeevil baby-eaters!" brigade scaring everyone off. Who knows? We may even forge a stronger bridge once they see we're not all nutters :wink:

A holocaust of the mentally disabled isn't out of the question. We're certainly not too civilized for it. The sahara is a little to s**t for me though. I don't like sand.

this is just funny, as I know two Aspie guys here on WP that were in Viet Nam one in the Army and one a Marine. There was an Aspie guy just back from Iraq. . oh, wait, he was a mercenary there, but still. He was going back, he was just on leave, so I would say he was 'supporting' that war.

The pic that was there before sinsboldly dumped it was a little too creepy for me. I guess I'm too familiar with Nevada, which is littered with the ruins of mining boomtowns that people thought would be the greatest cities in America in 10 years, only to end up with a population of zero. I should put up some of the crazy predictions made for Goldfield, the biggest boomtown of the Second Boom, with people saying that there would be a waiting list to get in, and that it would be limited to "only" 10,000 at a time, and etc.

1908 population: 30,000. 1948 population: around 150. Since then it's gone up to about 450, with all the retirees looking to flee Vegas. The only things left are the grand hotel, now a ruin but once the finest establishment between San Francisco and St. Louis, and a handful of other buildings, including the onetime offices of mine owner George Wingfield. Most residents live in mobile homes or in the handful of brick mansions that have survived.

Most travelers on US 95 gas up in Tonopah, another Second Boom city (current population: maybe 2,500) and bypass Goldfield entirely. The area simply was never that viable. A city in the desert would be like all the others, more Resident Evil Extinction than glittering metropolis within a short time. Las Vegas has grown far too fast for a dwindling water supply, and now the depression has slammed it. The residents of the north state are happy that for once Las Vegas won't be around to steal their water and money.

I was being sarcastic. The previous comment was about how NT's guaranteed war, and I was mocking the assumption that Aspies were perfect little pacifists.
