[T]HIS WEEK’s ASPIE POST
Aspies tend to love everyone. The difficulty in empathizing, common rejection, and desire for connection with others makes all successful connections more enjoyable. The hard part to manage comes in three:

1) It’s hard to find relations since listening to others most of their language consists of signals we consider either meaningless, tedious or confusing. So you must learn patience to listen and try to ask about how and why people feel the way they do. Most of us understand spoken emotions. Meanwhile the autistic impulse tries to control you into avoiding exactly what you are trying to accomplish. This is why ssri’s are so effective: they dull the impulse and allow you to practice building the strength of will over the autistic impulse. Social anxiety disorder is controlled by the same means. We must see the autism spectrum as excess in-uterine suppression of the growth of the self. And that we must assist the growth of the self to compensate. We tend to think as engineers today rather than gardeners and foresters. The mind is constructed more like a tree and some artful bonsai may be needed.

2) It is easy to alienate relations via over sharing minutia fascinating to the autistic mind because system-thought provides constant touch stones amidst sensory chaos in socially and emotionally dense environments. So developing self monitoring is necessary and it’s very hard work. Again the problem is severity: some of us are weakly affected and can rely on will. Others more so and require help in training. Others need chemical assistance to suppress the autistic impulse. And some of us lack sufficient self to imagine the very idea of self monitoring – and it is those people that are non functional.

3) Once you mature having not experienced all the “silly” distractions of normal minds, you can gain this sense of superiority that comes with expertise in anything, and you can lose your desire to engage with (boring, dull, stupid) normals. This requires acceptance that only comes with age: normals have different feelings and needs and they usually fail to mature intellectually as far as we do – or rather they stop maturing at much earlier ages. So the only technique I have developed is love. I keep working a problem in my head in order to keep the big black scary machine busy, and I merely enjoy the company of people like a warm bath or sunny day. But what has surprised me is that simple and good people do not engage in as much signaling with false intellectualism. So I prefer the company of common people for my emotional health, and the company of competitive and intellectual people for my mental health.

So how do we socialize? The trick for us is to develop something we can share with others that is interesting. So that we are valuable to the conversation.

My strategy is to seek to help everyone I encounter in some small way. This usually involves getting to know them while looking for some opportunity to assist.

And in that act of inquiry I show interest in others: seeking to understand, not to agree.

That’s my lesson for this week to aspies.

[O]nce you learn propertarianism’s basic principles: acquisition, property en toto, inventory, transaction cost, opportunity cost, cooperation, suppression of free riding, reproductive strategy and group evolutionary strategy, and all speech as negotiation for acquisition, you replace totalitarian Freudian psychology and cosmopolitan sociology with universal amoral, unloaded, rational incentives.

And when you do that you see all psychologism get as a vast language of deception and manipulation for encouraging parasitism and consumption.

Humanity like all other creatures exists in the physical universe, and has evolved the means of estimating the future and acting to change it, capturing the difference for his benefit.

The only ‘shame’ is theft. The only oath, not to steal.

[T]HE SILVER RULE IS THE ORIGIN OF COOPERATION

THEFT
The only ‘shame’ is theft. The only oath, not to lie, cheat, steal or impose harm.

The summary of this ethic is: “Do not unto others as you would not want done unto you.” The anglo saxons were right and the Christians wrong.

MORALITY (RULE OF COOPERATION)
The silver rule is necessary for cooperation. The golden rule buys options on future cooperation – but encourages parasitism.

ACQUIRE
We act upon that which we have acquired without imposition of costs upon that which others have acquired by doing the same.

COOPERATE
We act in concert to voluntarily produce common goods and services.

WARRANTY
We warranty the truthfulness of our speech by due diligence in the cleansing of error, bias, imagination, wishful thinking, and deceit from our speech.

INSURE
We insure one another against the imposition of costs by collective suppression of free riding by collective prosecution of those who impose costs upon others.

INVEST
We invest in the construction of commons for the production of returns, and we deny one another the ability to impose costs upon them.

[T]HE THEORETICAL HIERARCHY OF ORGANIZATIONAL EVOLUTION
(useful idea)
4 – LAW: Customers, Brand, Channels, and Income Stream, Predictability
3 – THEORY: Innovation (business model), Investment, Possibility
2 – HYPOTHESIS: Talent, Effort, Searching For A Business Model
1 – FREE ASSOCIATION: Idea (Free Association)

All human endeavors follow this principle just as most physical evolutionary organisms follow the “fibonacci, golden ratio, nautilus” sequence.

The evolution of business is no different from the evolution of any other field of knowledge except that time is one’s enemy, competition is brutal, and testing is ever-present and inescapable.

[M]en have had a much harder time taming women’s irrationality and impulsivity than they have their own.

We kill off troublesome men. We just constrain troublesome women.

We spent tends of thousands of years incrementally suppressing male behavior while merely containing female behavior.

But we turned the ballot box into Pandora’s box and let loose all the evils in the world.

Men have no more place in midwifery and nursery than women have in politics and war.
