Jamie (trying to refocus): Asperger’s? The spiritual connection behind it?

Me: Yeah. Or is there?

Erik: Have you watched the TV show “Touched”?

Me: No.

Erik: That kind of plays off. Watch the main character.

Jamie: Is that the little boy that doesn’t talk, comes up with codes or something?

Me: That sounds familiar. I think I’ve seen the trailer or teaser or something.

Erik: Yeah, well they’re basing off that kind of high mental activity, zero social ability, so these kids—yes they come in with this indifference, but intellectually what they’re bringing to the table for us in our future is intelligence and spirituality. You can almost think of them as not so much a leader because they don’t like the people around them but a giver—“I’ll create something and give it to you.”

Me: Oh, I see.

Erik: I’ll build it; I’ll show you how it works. They’re very basic little teachers—basic meaning like one on one, not one to a million. They’re very hands on, and these are the people that we’re going to need in abundance coming into this new shift and change.

Me: Interesting.

Erik: So, I know that’s why there’s this increase of this, but it’s not fair when it’s brought on chemically instead of naturally.

Me: But also it’s not fair that’s they’re picked on.

Erik: It’s another thing—

Jamie (to Erik): Wow, you’re speechless!

Me: Unbelievable!

Jamie: He stumbled over a few words!

Erik: I get so fucking angry when I look at school systems and how they refuse to change and how they’re going to need to change because half of our children can’t handle how they’re teaching anymore. We’ve outgrown the system. 

Jamie: Oh, when he said, “we,” he pointed to himself.

Erik: I outgrew that system; I couldn’t handle it.

Me: Yeah. Maybe the school system needs to be torn down, redesigned and rebuilt considered the current state of today’s children.

Erik: Yes, and that’s what started making me breathless when I was talking about it being taken down and torn apart. You watch, Mom. It’s already happened, right—

Jamie (to Erik): We? Who are we? (pause) Spirits?

Erik: Spirits have been announcing that first the banks will fall which they are. Yay, they did. Then the health care system will fall. Has it not? We’re in the process of that. And then you know what’s next? Out government and our school systems are going to be fighting neck and neck for the next collapse, including higher education. They’ll fall.

Me: Maybe they need to.

Erik: Yeah, because they’re all functioning like their head is up their ass. And it’s not fair—

Jamie: Wow, Erik! I haven’t seen you this rowdy in a long time!

I chuckle. I know how he can be sometime.

Erik: It’s not fair that our teachers of our future are going through a broken system. We need to save them. We need to pull them out. We need to teach them life skills again.

Me: Overall, we need some good ol’ fashioned spring-cleaning. Out with the old and corrupt or useless and in with the new and innovative.

Erik: Yeah, but it’s not going to be pretty to sit through it. The only fantastic thing that’s happening through all of this—all of the systems that break apart—is our enlightenment and spirituality and out sense of community will skyrocket.

Me: Yeah, and we’ll get rid of all that clutter, too.

Erik: Yeah, we’ll no longer be that materialistic country.

Me: Ah, how nice.

Erik: Whaddya think about that, China?

Me: Poor things! They’re walking in our footsteps, making the same mistakes.
