Are we Nature's Backstop?

Plastic

The older I get, the more auties and aspies I find - the lucky ones ended up in their niche profession where they excel and create incredible things.   Throughout history, almost all breakthroughs can be attributed to someone who is clearly one of us and very much on the spectrum.

As NTs are all about social bickering and status, are they designed as nature's minions? - worker drones - cranking the handles of life (badly) and fighting amongst themselves while we quietly design the next major leap forwards in technology or war-winning invention to save their lives.    

It seems that whenever the faecal matter hits the air-circulation device, the NTs rely on our ingenuity to dig them out of whatever hole they have made for themselves.

So why do they treat us so badly?

  • they do it cause it's fun for them, and we're like ducks at a shooting gallery. that's the size of it. i've had NT's say to me, 'that person is just weird' or 'they just are so inept.' that's reason enough for them to either ignore us...........or treat us like ***.  it's only been going on for......... not decades, not centuries, but thousands of years.

    we're the outsiders, naive and kind of inept socially. they can point us out. and not in a good way.

    there's an interesting guy at stanford (not the stanford in the uk, lol, the one in palo alto, california, the colonies, u no?) robert sapolsky. he studies primates - those hairy things that sort of stand on two legs. the lesser primates in a group suffer from stress, quite identical to stress humans lower (financially, socially, etc) on the totem pole suffer. PLUS  humans have institutionalized this totem pole. forever, there have been built in biases against 'lesser' people: tax structure, politics, jobs, social class systems, and schools.

    the deck is rigged. the house is getting phatter and phatter.
