    Duke prof claims libertarians on autism spectrum

    I wish this wasn't true. I went to Duke, I work at Duke, and 95% of the place is pretty good. I already emailed the chair of the history department.

    Can I smack this loser silly, as an Autistic American? Most of the autism spectrum is what's called "high-functioning"--average or higher IQ's just a bit "different," really more like the differences between Windows vs MacOS--a different "operating system" with a different set of strengths and weaknesses. Jefferson appears to have been HFA/Asperger's, and Bill Gates is an uncanny dead-ringer for the profile.

    And the spectrum's politics are as scattered and divergent as the details of our individual cases--for every hard-right among us there's an equally-hard-leftist.

    Most libertarians, and most autistics, just wanna be left alone to mind our own business. As long as the bills are paid and responsibilities are met, what's wrong with that?

    She's right about one thing. I don't feel any solidarity with or empathy for her.
    What if this whole crusade's a charade?
    And behind it all there's a price to be paid
    For the blood which we dine
    Justified in the name of the holy and the divine…

    Well if it wasn't for all the autistic members of 4Chan and Reddit we wouldn't have President Trump so.....
    If you can't win a gun fight against a lightly-trained individual during broad daylight with 88 rounds of 30-06, I'm not sure you'd be able to do it with... any other firearm.

    Ok, I've got an El Camino full of rampage here, so what's the plan?

    I have a feeling that some of her fellow faculty members from the economics department would take offense to that if they are anything like the professors I had. Almost every Econ professor I had was leaning pretty hard in the libertarian direction.

    I saw her faculty webpage, she's pretty out there. I have discretely asked around (I was in the grad program for health policy), the history department has hunkered down. Lots of people at the Board of Trustees wringing their hands. My sense is they are all hoping it just goes away.

    Keep beating the drum so that it doesn't. Use the left's tactics against them.

    Well, I know of ONE school that's off the list for finishing my BA and pressing on to my Masters... of course if their History Dept embraces douches like her their Mil History program probably sucks sweaty donkey balls.

    Meanwhile I'd put a lot of university professors one the schizophrenic and psychopathic spectrum.
    It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.

    Chuck, we miss ya man.

    I identify as libertarian and personally take this as a great compliment.
