It strikes me as ridiculously odd, that humanity wants to preserve and dissect the brain of Einstein, when there are thousands of Einstein alikes being reviled for being stinky weirdos.
Einstein is said to have had Aspergers right?
Aspergers though, what is that?
Was he mental?
By all accounts an utter fruit cake!
Okay… Eating habits aside; the easiest way to describe Aspergers in a non discriminatory way is as “a mind set”.
People with Aspergers, who have very high IQ, are particularly good at focused research (in areas they are interested in, where they can become academic experts very quickly). We are also good at spotting detail which goes un-noticed by others in data.
You see, Einstein formed an obsession with some stuff, then had a bit of an idea. After he wrote it down, academia looked at it and declared “fu*k me, that’s brilliant”.
And while everyone talks of brain disection or looks for the next Einstein, we fail to notice the very signs of other Einstein mindsets in our midst.
Einstein struggled through school and clashed with authorities. Failed entrance exams because he excelled in one area, yet was not so good in another.
Education is fu*ked and fails to prepare our best and brightest shining stars for a fu*ked world.
Human beings are lazy. We live in a world where we expect miracles to happen. Only a small section of our population actively seeks to evolve. And we evolve because of our intelligence, yet in our collective wisdom we trample our experts and geniuses to the bottom of the pile.
It is easy to control the hearded masses, give them a diet coke and something simple to engage them. Diet on low fat products jam packed full of carbohydrates. Brilliant! Playstation? Even better…
But what of the non-conformists?
Label them – ADD – Aspergers – Autism or Borderline Human Disorders, Psycho and Schizm.
Drug the bastards!
And this is where Aspergers gets interesting.
The drugs tend not to work as expected. Amphetamine Sleepade, Introspectasy, Freakcaine, Tramodalert?
The government provides funding, it isn’t that. The government even provides helpers. But not people to illicit our best works, people to help us go away. We don’t fit in. We are not wanted.
But they still want to dissect Einstien’s brain?
OI… YOU FU*KING MORONS – EINSTEIN’S BRAIN IS DEAD.
(I liked writing Oi *snigger*).
I can personally introduce you to a handful of people who think using roughly the same patterns and strategies as Einstein.
Social expectations are… That the people with the brilliant ideas will make it into college and provide us with the answers we need to evolve.
Yet the way society is being homogenised into an all for one and one for all product placement advertising campaign, I can’t see that happening.
Brilliant minds are being broken, crushed…
Today’s Einstein won’t even make it as a patent clerk. I know I couldn’t.
So how do we support these people?
Our first port of call would be to remove pressure to fit in socially and celebrate the skills of someone with Aspergers.
A different kind of conditioning perhaps?
Give a man with Aspergers a job stacking shelves? Driving a delivery van?
What kind of input is that for a super computer?
Got one at home?
So here is a question for you/he/she to ponder…
How does a person with paralysis from the neck down experience emotions?
See you on the other side of the looking glass,
