Good. Anything that keeps those professing to be conservative while setting things to deeply poke government's nose into people's lives out of the controlling seat for another term is good. Now let's all make sure the normies who vote never forget this, either.
financially autistic?
What did they mean?
Like all toff politicians, I think he just meant it as a general insult to denigrate the party's financial management, keenly unaware that a lot of the people he regularly screws over will be offended.
I was under the impression that many Autistics are excellent mathematicians - pure "numbers" people to the expense of everything else. In that context, the "Honourable Gentleman's" comment could be considered high praise... :twisted:

Again, if we truly are as variable as the evidence I have at hand suggests, then this cannot be true. I am quite lousy with math, in fact. Having all those numbers sit there in my mind, repeating themselves over and over, drives me bonkers. I doubt I am the only one.
Is Autistic as an insult,the new "gay"?
(Referring to people who use the word gay to mean bad)
I hope not.
It would appear so. Oh well, political death is quite an amusing thing to see.
I know this is a long way off, but is there a way we can pool resources to make an advertisement, buy air time, and put it on when normies are likely to watch? It does not even need to be lengthy, just a spiel asking "What did Albert Einstein and Andy Warhol have in common? ... They both suffered Asperger's Sydrome." Followed by a URL or something.
"lived with"? I think suffered is a good word to use, given what goes on in the normie environment.
experienced? embraced? (although probably not, for Einstein and Warhol)

They were both Aspergians. Add Newton, as well. (I'm a fangirl of his.)

Me, I kind of liked Leibniz more than Newton. These two were debate partners--Leibniz did not believe that gravity existed. I mean, just imagine, what if it didn't!!!

How is gravity, key to the entire achievement of the Principia, to be understood? Leibniz charged that it was an occult quality, occult in the sense that it purported to explain but did not explain, at least as Leibniz understood that term...Leibniz allows that attributing gravity universally to matter is helpful as information; thus, to say that Earth gravitationally attracts and is attracted by the sun can be construed as saying simply that earth and sun behave in a certain way when in a particular conjunction with one another. What Leibniz objects to is the implication that attributing gravity in this context somehow explains how these effects are brought about.
Newton's indignant response (articulated in some detail in Cotes' Preface to the second edition of the Principia) is that gravity is a cause of motion, though the cause of gravity itself he does not presume to know.
Aspies? (With footnote to say "born with Asperger's Syndrome... and if we can read this subtitle on an 80cm TV, so can you, normie"... and yes, a bit of Richard Pryor's bluntness is going around, as it should.)
