[Aspie] can being wealthy turn failos into halos?

[AntonioJuraz]

you really don't understand, the "in" group thing is subconscious such as your high opinion of your rich friend which makes you want to appear more like them and have them consider you one of them, while the lying is a conscious affirmation like how you would say 10 years ago to your friend "that's some cool rap music".

you really don't seem to understand this. if your friend was just some random not rich guy, you probably wouldn't have pretended to like rap music, cause you don't consider them a top "in" group member. like i said explaining this to an idiot is a waste of my time, you clearly don't seem to understand the difference between subconscious (rich person cool! i want to be more like them! i want them to like me! i will copy them!) and consciously ("yea that's come cool music you listen to", actually listening to the music, saying a catchphrase like "black lives matter")

its actually really easy to understand, youre just trying to use academic theory to overcomplicate a simple concept. my argument has always been that LMS can halo things. this is not a controversial statement at all. I never made any claims about the how or why this happens, I just stated that LMS can halo various things. youre trying to create an argument out of nothing, I have no idea what point youre even trying to make anymore (in the context of the original point of this thread). my original point was:

LMS can halo things
LMS can halo things
LMS can halo things

whats there to argue about?

your examples, saying that being rich and autist about something will be seen as a positive trait vs poor with the same trait when in reality they are both seen as bad traits but people will put up with the bad trait or idea in order to further their own social status.

that rich autistic guy in classical music will still have people talk about him badly due to his autism they just won't do it around him or in public settings where he might learn they said something bad about him.

now if he had everyone say every day "being autistic in classical music is really cool" for years on end, he might finally convince them that it's a positive trait but just being rich or good looking or high status along with a negative trait won't magically make the negative trait positive in other people's eyes.
