You don't have to go to college/uni to be intelligent or successful.

Plus, not everyone who has a college degree becomes successful, nor are many of them intelligent, either.

I'm pretty sure you can if you actually understand what instinct and the social are. The thing is that not being able to perceive something isn't so much a different perspective as a lack of insight. A person who doesn't have any personal understanding of instinct or social patterns telling you their perspective on those things is like a colorblind person talking to you about what they think colors are based on how they see other people interact with it.

I'll trust someone who has observed colors his whole life and come conclusions about its nature based on his experiences with it over someone who assumes things about something he only knows indirectly.

>>7045024
Not what I meant, but I guess I could have worded what I wanted to say better.
By the information autists perceive and can't process I meant the sensory and factual information that normal people filter in order to be able to process the world around them. The reason you're able to see your friend driving by in a car while you're walking down a street is that your brain filters out anything it deems irrelevant to what you are doing, whereas people with autism will be overwhelmed by the information they are being flooded with (especially if they're walking down a road for the first time). The info they can't perceive relates to social mechanisms and instinct. They can't read emotions or peoples intentions very well, have trouble reading faces, etc.

You will laugh and you will cry. You will experience the death of loved ones, and, if you are lucky, the birth of new ones. Everything you do is, in the Buddhist fashion, ultimately suffering, though you can pepper this with drugs and alcohol if you so wish as this will assuage the frustration and turmoil caused by your own mortality.

I don't wish to emphasize drugs and alcohol, but these 'vices' and sex act as a beautiful distraction that averts your mind from your inevitable death.

So, in direct response to OP's "Share your wisdom", my only summation thus far, in my short life, would be get drunk high and laid.

Most opinions are made to acomodate a certain ideology and people lose their individuality easily, you are not free if you want to be religious or open minded in a nerd, enlightened, right wing or any kind to ideology.

The alpha male idea is real, girls will always be attracted to people who are either fun and comunicative

Health is important, but in a non masturbatory and real approach its important, everyone should have the goal to reach 80 and being able to run a marathon or at least to not being a burden to society

Hate is a constructive idea

Racsim exist because of a majority but if somebody is worth your time race doesnt matter at all, and everyone deserves respect.
