Good question, Babe.

Well, an autistic might have connections we don't without all the other distractions but has difficulty expressing them.
Now stupid, on the other hand, does not lack the ability to express his stupidity.

Too bad that wasn't the other way around.

The brain in most, Is 100% utilized, just not all at the same time...maybe those times when much of it is engaged at the same time is a new understanding of multitasking...which gets us nowhere fast instead of everywhere in a slow methodical way, integrating each step and stringing dots like jeweled beads to be worn around the neck.

It would seem that the advantage be given to those unconsciously competent to the point where one leaves the automatic bicameral brain to it's important tasks while one engages the mind and the quantum to broaden and widen ones scope into infinity. [Wide Scope Accountability]

The brain, aside from providing function and support for the whole is also necessary to properly decode the messages, information and knowledge asked for by the mind bringing thought into the spoken world and pen to paper.

What if autism is a manifestation of stupid's attempt to take over. In the case of savants, the brain is elevated to abilities Far beyond the norm. Can you imagine that same process (whatever it is) taking over the whole brain?
Did you see the movie "LUCY"?A fairy tale illustrating what happens as the brain is being utilized up to 100%.

You might get up. But would you want to?

Speaking of elections the Dems see Oprah as
their choice! Help!! I've fallen and can't get up!!!!

Don't confuse the GOP elected officials with conservatism.

I think the US would benefit greatly by having more/targeted political parties rather than the two big ones. I'd love to see the Constitution Party gain steam. I think there are plenty of Libertarians to support that party. The Green Party does pretty well even though they're IMO a bunch of nutcases. Heck, Sanders would be the leader of the Communist Party of America.

Party politics is holding this back, however. There are two major things that would have to happen (in my mind) to broaden the sphere of political parties participating in our process:

1) Repeal the 12th Amendment. Eliminate party-line voting that puts both President and Vice-President on the same ticket. Go back to the President being the top vote-getter and the Vice-President being the second-highest vote-getter. This would also restore the office of the Vice President to one that actually mattered. It would also make it so that impeachment proceedings would become a serious matter because in the event of Conviction, power would change hands - and parties.

2) Campaign finance revision. Make it so that candidates for political office can't accept money from anyone not a registered voter in the precinct for which they are running. That means no one but someone in that voting district can give money to a candidate. No foreigners, no George Soros, and no outside special interests - including PAC's and unions and National Committees. Just plain grass-roots financing. This one provision would have the ancillary effect of gutting most lobbying efforts.

LOL

Good one!

He Is a libertarian, but in order to get elected he runs as a Republican. I could have been very comfortable with him as president. He is an outsider in the sense he doesn't align with the establishment but he's as sharp as they come.

Absolutely! Don't forget Pocahontas Warren.

Why I'm concealed carry always armed in downtown Birmingham, including other fringe areas where I don't even want to get out of the car.

Using the GI Bill to take college courses like Philosophy 101 or basic logic may have helped.
I do toss about Evil Hag and Peanut Brain ad hominem attacks~but if Rush Limbaugh can Dingy Harry and Crazy Bernie do it, why can't I?

A Conscious man, [human] is an amazing enigma in nature; but still lacks the skill, the psychology, the emotion, to deal with those that have yet to become consciously introspective, the bicameral brain or the stupid.

We need a new study, an honest and in-depth one that will teach us to successfully talk to stupid...

Maritimus, I couldn't agree more. If I could accomplish one thing in this country it would be to eliminate the government "public" school system and privatize the lot. That would give parents checkbook control of the curriculums and political agendas being pushed on our kids. I was only referring to a couple of guys I know who are Democrats but good people at heart, who continue to struggle with that belief system which is ultimately irrational. Sadly, one of them is big in the public school system and considers it to be the best option, even though his own children are poster children for the failure of the system. I would still give them more credibility, at least in local elections, than the wishy-washy ones who have no clear idea of what they are implementing or where they're going. At least these guys have the capability, maybe, to reason it out and see where they are misled.

"I'm curious why you think Ron Paul should be a Democrat."
You're right. I take it back. He should have been in some other small-gov't party like libertarian, and they should be a major party.

My Russian Friends say "Hope Dies Last".
It is a VERY dark refrain...

They also say "Politics is about one billionaire trying to make another billionaire pick up the tab (using the lives of the peasants to do it)".

Greed is not bad. People having a profit motive is not bad.

But politicians have a twisted relationship. It is more profitable for them to do a DISSERVICE to the country, than to do the country right.
THAT is the problem we must find a way to solve.

Otherwise, I have to go to Mark Twain: "Everyone in Office should serve 2 terms. One if office, followed by one in prison".
Methinks Mr. Twain was a VERY SMART MAN!

OK Cap'n. Your scenario is more positive than mine. As I have repeated many times , it is all about just two things, money and power. I suspect that rather than Atlas shrugging, he will go underground.

Amen.
