as someone with autism do NOT let us control everything. You'd get 27,000 cats and a ton of trains without any issues being solved.
I think a ton of trains would actually solve a lot of issues
yeah maybe we should let them cook for a bit
My go to example for "we should have let them cook" is https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/OGAS
cats too tbh
Ironically may result in the resurgence of the bee population due to cats murdering the bird population
A ton of trains would be less than one train
Fine, we'll upgrade to a shit ton instead.
A government of autists would come up with optimized solutions to many problems. The issue is that most people are resistant to actually fixing things, so everyone would just get mad.
optimised solutions often create negative secondary effects in other systems - it’s not (always) that people are resistant to fixing things, it’s that when people get attached to an “optimised solution” and it comes into contact with the real world, it’s often difficult for them to take valid criticisms that aren’t about the system
It's almost always for a selfish reason though. For instance, health insurance in the U.S. could easily go away if the government combined all of the funding for public healthcare systems. It won't happen because of the for profit healthcare industry.
Do not betray your own tribe brother. After all, why shouldn't we get 27000 cats?
I'm allergic.
