I believe most Aspergers are libertarians,for example ECONOMICS NOBEL Vernon L. Smith is both a UBER LIBERTARIAN and an asperger |
I'm high-functioning autistic (same thing, really), and I identified as a libertarian as a kid. Then I learned a lot more about how humans actually worked, and realized that libertarianism has exactly the same flaw as communism: It's a brilliant system of government for a species which is not humans.
We tend to assume that people are rational, but the reality is that they're not, and a system which presupposes rationality and long-term thinking is a system based on a false premise.
And weren't you the one who thought "objective" was a good thing? Well, the
objective reality is that humans are not at all economically rational. And you know, I hope, that reasoning from false premises yields false conclusions.
