One of the many reasons society isn’t comfortable around those with aspergers syndrome is we tend to believe like kings. Believing like a king involves seeing the world to the closest approximation that it really is. Believing like a king involves knowing that most of the important things in life boil down to numbers.
Belief like a King | Belief like a Pawn |
Conjecture Encouraged Stock market investment Critical thinking for problem solving |
Conjecture Discouraged Playing the lotto Religion, Faith/Hope in the hereafter |
Optimize for Truth Money and status most important things Numbers most important |
Optimize for Happiness Therapeutic ideals like innate worth Self-esteem at the expense of truth |
Speak in Specifics Confrontational authenticity |
Speak in Generalities Vague and non-existential impotent speech |
Those who believe like a king know hope is mostly just something used to string vulnerable people along. They also expect you to hope while they use conjecture on you. For example people will use conjecture when assessing your future and find out you have none and then they will reject you, all while telling you to hope out the other side of their mouths.
