Interacting with people who can't function at "normal" human rationality, whether it's because of physiological conditions they were born with or personality traits they took on (extremely wild people or those prone to desperate actions, like terrorists or people who do crazy things in order to survive like rob people or houses), scare me. Desperate people scare me. I can't understand them. I don't hate people like this or look down upon them, they're just as much human as I am, but I just find this frightening. I talk to a pretty well-functioning guy with Asperger's too and he's cool (he's worked hard to get where he is), I have no problem speaking to him, but other than the communication wall is a problem for me. As such, I avoid people who I think are like this generally.

I can't shake this notion that without violence, social re-engineering cannot really succeed. I'm from that sick school of thought that believes that the great terror during the french revolution was somewhat of a natural outgrowth of popular emancipation. That is not to say i believe that this sort of social upheaval is the best way forward. It's just hard for me to conceive radical change towards equality without heads rolling. I think this is awful, but my gut finds it to be true.

I'm coming around to a similar opinion.
