> This is why I think economists (reasonable ones) should be the last line of advisement for policy. While this is an autists wet dream, there are problems with something like this. The biggest issue I could foresee- it sort of takes the "humanity" out of making policy. That might be what we *need right NOW,* for like a culling of sorts, but long-term it's too easily abused and the masses would never accept it. "We're all just numbers to you fucking autistic freaks making policy, fuck you!"- that kind of shit. Even if the autists are making the *objectively best decisions for EVERYONE,* that's how non-autists will view it, because non-autists will never understand the lack of empathy an autist can wield.
