Living a life "outside of the system".

We humans all live in a social system which is complex and deceptive in some of its aspects, and delightfully simple in others.

The complex part can be called "politics", the simple part correspondingly called "personal survival"

Neurotypicals are pre-oocupied with politics, most of us 'Spergs with "personal survival".   

THE (social) SYSTEM, acts as a FRAMEWORK for us to live our individual lives in a way that we all (generally) concede is the best way for humans to live. 

(I.E. not being killed for the colour of ones skin or religious / sexual / sports preferences etc.)

Am I right and clear with my thinking so far?

The banking system is designed so that your money is safer than if it's in a hole in the ground. That's common sense really, because as a lone individual it is very hard to protect great (or even moderate) wealth against the more predatory classes of people. 

The money system is designed (theoretically) so that the people get rewarded for hard work, and protected from adversity via established social funds paid for by taxes and insurance premiums etc.   

The legal system is established to give us all a fairly level playing field in life so that even the physically strong have to negotiate for not just TAKE resources. 

The social system is designed to help us al find ways of expressing our uniqueness without adversely affecting (or being unduly restricted) by the needs of others.

The religious/moral system is supposed to help us gain common wisdom as to life and our place in it and how it works, and was the foundation on which all the other systems were built and operated,

The medical system is supposed to assist us all in maintaining optimum health and effect repairs to injuries of one sort or another, when we are in need.

Together all these sub systems as far as I can determine, make up what we collectively refer to as society or the SYSTEM.

So WHY ON EARTH WOULD ANYONE WANT TO LIVE OUTSIDE OF IT??

In my case, as I analysed the system with the hope of eventually being able to find my place in it, I came to an understanding that the system operates assymetrically, (particularly the money system) consistently bestowing it's benefits on people who are NOT LIKE ME whilst drawing heavily (as a percentage) from the annual turnover, (via a bewildering variety of inputs) from PEOPLE LIKE ME. 

There were many decades of cognitive dissonance whilst I struggled with that reality whilst trying and suceeding for DECADES to "play the game" with admittedly more success on the financial side, but paying a heavy (if made less perceptible by the nature of participatiion in our modern system on the moral / spiritual side of things)  

Eventually "the system" claimed my family as it does so often these days, (The older systems of social life as practiced still elsewhere in the world, are a lot more "family freindly" and less likely to make you "homeless" than our western progressive way of living since the sixties) and I faced the homelessness issue again...

At which point to you realise that you are just working to pay for a system that is designed to steal your happiness and keep you form being ever secure in the basics like housing, and adequate, clean quality food, whilst promising you more down the road if you just reject the old system of thinking and acting (GOD?) and embrace the new progressive ideas?

How many of you are still seeing things my way? 

How many of you are seeing things this way for the first time?

For many years I thought the system didn't work for me because I was of poor character and simply needed to work harder and smarter.

It's tempting to blame the Autism..

Or has the Autism merely forced me to make an objective independent assessment of my situation, which has revealed some gaping (and to a sane mind, I posit, irreconcilable) inconsistencies between how WE ARE TOLD our system works, and how it ACTUALLY works? 

I am well aware MANY people feel very well served by our modern system of life, and don't like it when people like me speak out our reality, it's "disturbing".

For me the amount of the "social contracts" I listed earlier that I have personally tested (Or observed others testing, from an outside perspective) and found unworkable in practice, is so large that it seems like human life has been reduced to a game of "monopoly" where most players get to waste their entire lives going around and around chasing a pie in the sky.

FORTUNATELY:

Monopoly isn't the only game available in the big cupboard under the TV of liffe...

    As we have crossed swords on this subject previously I will just say that women regressing to the 'traditional' roles of the 60s fills me with horror. 

    However, maybe there are alternatives. 

    More detail required here please. 

    Crossed swords

  • wasnt womens roles long ended by the 60s due to the fact the traditional roles were upended in ww2 way back in the 30s to 40s?

    by the 60s they were long changed wasnt they? by the 60s it was more a push for sexual liberation and the casualisation of having sex with everyone wasnt it? lol

  • As with many "ism's", "feminism" seems after some decades of oberservation, (obviously I can't participate sucessfully, as I lack the neccesary genetic equipment) to exact a heavy price for those who overdose on it... 

    The traditional Masculine roles placed quite heavy responsibilities on men, which have now been discarded, and thanks to "feminism", not only women have been "freed" from the shackles of traditional roles.

    I being oldschool, might well still help the women and children into the lifeboats ahead of my own need, but I no longer HAVE TO... Along with a whole slew of other instances where I no longer HAVE TO. 

    We have more choices in how we conduct our lives than ever before*, isn't it wonderful?

    *Unless I want to fly my drone over my own back garden, then I find out how "choices" really work in this society... 

    (just a personal grumble. No system is perfect..)

  • yeah i bet you its all talk though, when the going gets tough and war comes men will be sacrificed again, men will be made to do the hard graft and the bleeding. there is no equality, men still get the raw deal.... i for one am fine in the traditions being broken as id prefer rather someone else do the work while i stay at home and be the house pet with no worries or stress lol
