Do most of us have Asperger's or are we just too introverted and freethinking?

In fact, fun fact, just read on and you'll discover he has been married to an Argentian model Not bad, for a bearded commie!

She's nothing to write home about. Middling face, no muscle tone, weird torso, possibly a tranny etc.

I'm sure the women are writing home about what a catch you are on the daily

That's the only photo I could find, of her. I don't think she is a particularly famous. She's far from ugly, though, and definitely not the kind of girl a socially awkward borderline autistic man would end up with.

Lol, well the thing is that no-one is expecting them to. The reason for my post is that her face looks very like mine as a younger man and her body looks like an inferior version of mine (although I never had tits of course).

Your obsession with trans people is pretty creepy. When you're seeing dicks everywhere, even when you're looking at women, maybe the problem is within

There is no problem. It is just what is staring you in the face.

So penises are always starting you in the face, even when you see women? Interesting

Socrates, Plato, Camus, Descartes, and I could go on and on, were philosophers with many close friends, active social lives, and the ability to be effective communicators. Tesla was a scientist, not a philosopher. Some philosophers are lonely or socially awkward, but there are a many that are not, as philosophers are people and people can be introverted or extroverted, lonely or loved. Often the picture painted in YouTube videos (yikes if that's where you're getting your philosophy) is sensationalized with regard to the lives and times of famous figures, making them seem excessively tragic or grand, when in fact primary sources in the literature will tell you otherwise. One could paint Socrates, for instance, as a loathed man, which he was in some circles, but in his own he was beloved and surrounded by numerous close friends. Plato believed friendship to be so important that he called it the highest form of love.

And I'm sorry you're too unintelligent to understand Kant, but that does explain your ease of falling for conspiracy theories and the like- you confuse complexity without complication for brilliance, while actual brilliance is often complicated and beyond the layman.

Excuse me. But Socrates was declared an enemy of the state and forced to either drink poison and die, or recant his teachings and stop them. He chose the former of course. Yes he may have had his circle of students and followers, but being an enemy of the state is no fun. I doubt if that counts as being happy or not. Hard to say. As long as he had inner peace, that's what mattered.

However, none of those you named would have been happy or well adjusted if they had grown up in 1980s California, which was full of pretentiousness, fakeness, and cliquishness and other horrible traits I can't put into words. Keep that in mind.

I never use the word "socially awkward". Only judgmental conformists use that word. Not me. That's a shaming tactic. Just because someone isn't fake and doesn't act like an airhead doesn't make them socially awkward. Ask anyone who went to CA high school in the 80's. Everyone has baggage from that era. Anyone who was down to earth and normal and authentic would be seen as socially awkward there for no reason.

I'm not too unintelligent to understand Kant. He's not my cup of tea. No one quotes him. He has no brilliant quotes to quote from. You keep judging people. Why not judge yourself? Why don't I say that you are too unintelligent to understand me? Lol

Conspiracy theories or conspiracy facts rather, are not crazy. Many are true and well proven. You've done no research on that obviously. Sorry if you are too unintelligent to understand conspiracies. Almost all US Presidents between George Washington and JFK have admitted that conspiracies and a deep state cabal run America. I posted their quotes many times. That's just one of many proofs. If most US Presidents see the conspiracy, they would be in the know wouldn't they? lol. DUH!

Are you saying you looked like a girl when you were younger? That's weird. Why would you say that? Why would you admit that? I thought you were a traditional masculine man?

No Yick. You misunderstood me.

No I did not!

I never said all or most English teachers in Asia were losers.

Yeah you did!

I said there is probably a mix of some losers and eccentric types. Didn't Marcos said an article claimed that 50 percent of them were Aspies? They tend to be friendly to me superficially, but I don't know them that well.

This is what you said.

I do agree with you about English teachers in Asia though. A lot of them are losers and weirdos. Not all are nice down to earth people. A lot of them BS a lot too and act airheadish. But if they can speak in front of a class and teach English in a clear crisp voice, doesn't that make them functioning adults? I know some English teachers in Asia and some are ok but others are weird and airheadish. Some are just eccentric. But some lie and BS a lot and claim that they are getting laid all the time and that it's easy to get sex and that girls are always staring at them with sexual lust, etc. Ask @WorldTraveler, he knows countlesss guys that claim that but when you investigate they have no evidence that they are always getting laid by women, and are full of hot air.

Either way, the bosses of those English schools have told me that most of the English teachers that apply to work for them are losers and drunkards who show up late for work and get a drunk a lot. In 2004 a lady in Taiwan that ran a chain of English schools said that to me, that most of the English teachers she hired were losers who drank a lot and showed up late for work a lot. Her opinion, not mine. There is also a public perception in Asia that most English teachers are losers or perverts or something. I don't know how true that is. I'm just guessing that there must be some truth to it. The bad apples get the attention unfortunately.

A lot of those bosses, especially of Taiwanese buxibans are crooks and incompetent and are happy (like you state in the last paragraph) to exploit English teachers working for them with their annoying micromanaging ways and if anyone stands up to them and complains then they're 'losers' f**k them! They are hardly character references when they are lacking in most basic standards of decency, they have yet to realise that if you treat your employees badly then they won't put in their best efforts.

Of course, not every boss is an arsehole and yes, some teachers are drunkards and have no qualifications but the bosses of these schools employ those teachers even if they have the simple qualification of having blond hair or being young - they will hire Poles and Ukrainians and get them to tell the student body they are from Canada - lots of buxiban bosses in Taiwan are scumbags and they aren't any kind of character reference at all.

However, that boss in Taiwan was an extremist with warped views. She told me that she thought anyone who didn't work 7 days a week and wanted to have fun in life was a loser and lazy ass. Her belief was that people should not enjoy life, but work 7 days a week, like she does. She actually said that. Some Chinese and Taiwanese do think like that it seems, it's crazy and warped. No one in Europe would say that. Her beliefs seemed insane. So I don't know how credible she was.

Exactly!

Well I said "a lot". Not all or most. I haven't met that many to judge. The term "a lot" is a bit subjective. It doesn't mean most or majority necessarily. 1 percent out of a million people could be considered a lot too, depending on how you look at it.

Yeah Taiwanese bosses are mean as shit and unfair and crazy. I'm glad I never worked there. Their culture is very hateful in general too. Even the Taiwanese people in the US secret talk shit about you and gossip behind your back. They are hateful mother fuckers and should be exposed, that's for sure. That's why most English teachers left Taiwan long ago. And that's why English teachers have a negative reputation in Taiwan and are seen as losers and perverts. I also hate the Taiwanese vibe too, it gives me the creeps.

How do you know anything about Taiwanese bushiban bosses? Do you have experience with them? Where? In Taiwan? Or is it what you heard from others?

When that Taiwanese boss told me that she felt that anyone who didn't wanna work 7 days a week was a loser, I was stunned and thought she was joking. But she was serious. I didn't know what to say. When she asked me "Are you someone who likes to have fun or play?" I said "Sure sometimes. Doesn't everyone?" What did she expect me to say? That "I came here from America to work 7 days a week in Taiwan and be miserable"? lol.

I always assumed that Taiwanese bosses treated foreigners like special guests with lots of extra hospitality? Is that a myth? Or does that not apply to the English teaching world?

I never speak nonsense. You saying so is your opinion. You got no evidence or logical arguments to support your wild thesis about me. In contrast I gave 9 solid logical arguments and proofs above why I am considered a great intellectual who thinks outside the box. Many people say so, many who are smarter than you. I'm not lying. Sorry if you disagree. But you got no basis. I challenge you to prove me wrong with a list of logical arguments. If you can't, then you lose the debate. Sorry. I'm not being arrogant or delusional. Just logical. Spock or Data would not agree with you either, if they saw the list of 9 logical arguments and proofs I posted above. Read them over again. I'm sorry if you hate facts and logic and truth. I'm not a BSer. Ask all my friends. I'm the last person on Earth who would BS you. If you don't like me it's your problem, not mine. Good conservative people tend to like me, because they judge on good character and authenticity. People who judge on those criteria usually like me and see a kindred spirit in me. I'm sorry you don't. You sound hateful like you want to argue with me for no reason, like a contrarian or devil's advocate. You got no logical reason to dislike me. So the problem must be you? You don't sound objective and open minded that's for sure.

I didn't say anything false or illogical. If your eyes are rolling for no reason, it's your problem, not mine. Sorry.

Maybe you don't like me. But some do. I'll bet if I was on the Jay Leno Show, I could say some funny things that would make people like me. A socially awkward person cannot do that.

What's your definition of social awkwardness? I'll bet you have none. You just use the term to shame anyone you don't like, like crazy American women do. YOU are the one that's delusional, yet you don't realize it. Sorry bud. Your opinions are NOT facts, just your asshole opinions. Mine are at least backed up with logic and reason and evidences, so my opinions are more informed than yours it seems. Not bragging. Just my objective unbiased opinion.

Why don't we chat and record it and put it on YouTube and ask everyone to vote on who sounds more socially awkward, you or me? lol. A socially awkward person is not articulate and assertive like me. All my claims are based on good reasons, yours are not. How are you any better than me? You just hate for the sake of hating. I can do that too. That's not likable to good people you know?

Btw @MarcosZeitola and @hypermak:

One of you, maybe Marcos, said that I'm not as special as I think.

Well excuse me, but just because I'm not special to YOU doesn't mean I'm not special to others or God or the universe. Dude WTF you smoking? Speak for yourself dude!

Let me ask you this: Do you think your wife is special? Of course you do. What if I don't think she's special? Who is right? Isn't it subjective and just a matter of opinion? If so, then why do you confuse YOUR opinions of me with facts and truths Marcos?

Ask your wife if you are right to do that. Show her your post where you call me "not special" and act like it's a universal fact, when it's just YOUR opinion only. Ask her what she thinks of that. Does she even have an intellectual opinion or does she just mindlessly agree with you? Any smart woman can tell you that you are wrong on that one.

Why don't you ask Dianne if she thinks I'm special? She definitely will say yes. In fact, she agrees that I'm the most unique and intellectual Asian that SHE'S ever met. No one in her circle is anything like me at all. So to her, I'm special too and she admires my traits and intellect and debates too. She says I kick ass in intellectual debate and logic. She reads this forum so she is familiar with how I argue and debate too.

Dianne isn't the only one. A number of people have said that I'm the most "unique and freethinking" Asian they ever met, including a Scottish traveler who has been to over 100 countries. No joke! I swear to God and will put my hand on the Bible. Not making it up. See the quotes here for proof:

https://www.happierabroad.com/Quotes-Ab ... ton-Wu.htm

So who is right Marcos? You or Dianne or the guys I quoted in the link above? I told you, it's subjective. You ONLY speak for yourself Marcos, not for others, not for God or the universe. Do you understand?

hypermak, I'm sure you agree with me on this right? It's obvious right? Can you disagree with Marcos for once? Or is he infallible to you even though he makes tons of mistakes and contradictions, which even Spencer has cited from his own quotes?

[Winston]

@MarcosZeitola and @hypermak:

I also forgot to mention that Mr S too also told me that I'm the most open minded and freethinking asian hes ever met too, especially about conspiracies and metaphysics and esoteric topics.

Also Rock and Jester also agree that I'm the most freethinking Asian they know of too. They said so in a phone conversation some years ago. I heard it and was next to Rock during the phone conversation. You can ask them about it too. No joke. I swear. I got proof too. PM me if you want to see the proof.

So you see there are a number of guys here who do genuinely think I'm the most freethinking Asian they've ever known. Its NOT some fantasy or delusion in my head only. Real people do think that. A fair number of real people that is. So the claim does have some basis. And is not some delusion or illusion like HouseMD wrongly assumes. I swear.

Why deny it? Why not just accept it? Even if you don't agree, there are some who do agree. Right? Why try to debate it? Why not just let me have the honor that some guys feel i deserve?

Its not like I'm lying and trying to pretend to be something I'm not.

Talking to you on YouTube? Yeah I'm not sullying my reputation like that.

As to my definition, it is quute simple- someone that fails to respond in culturally and socially acceptable ways in social interactions more often than not, resulting in an inability to connect to others and communicate effectively in social situations.

You're not BSing because you're blissfully unaware of just how ignorant you appear. You are a fool, not a conman or liar. You lack the insight and intent required for those things. But fools can still be dangerous, particularly when others who are even more foolish take a liking to them. You think you are thinking factually and logically, but similar to Ben Shapiro, your facts and logic all rest upon presupposed notions of right and wrong that are as based upon feelings as anything else. This is transparent to anyome that has actually studied logic, but to the average simpleton that knows the word but not the process, it's a harder thing to ascertain.
