Social Skills
A new cultural emphasis designed to replace the ability to do one's job well. Since industrial talent distrubutes unevenly across certain gender and racial bounderies, the disparity creates an opportunity for unscrupulous politicians to manipuate the situation emotionally (demagoguery) and take power. The approach relies on research such as Dunbar's "Social Brain Hypothesis," in which the scientist shows that the human brain evolved to be larger in order to have greater "Machiavellian Intelligence," or to be able to better manipulate social situations.

It's all about conniving and fucking people to get to the top. The foil of someone with bad "social skills" is the clumsy engineer. However, people tend to forget that the engineer works exceptionally hard, is brilliant at constructing civilizations, and does not become a military dictator easily. Politicians with great "social skills" are the usual suspects.

People who promote social skills, things like "EQ," nearly always come at it from a humanitarian angle. They will try to claim that people without social skills are insensitive, mean, or have no "common sense." While this might have some merit, it neglects a critical piece of information. Empathy is not a one-way highway. It allows a mother to take care of a child. It also allows a slick used car salesman to take advantage of an elderly person.

It also allows Joseph Stalin to murder 100 million Russian peasants.

Nerd: "Wow! I just studied really hard and got a 98 on my math test"
Politician: "I went out and had fun. Then I found the answers online. Me and all my friends got 100's. You have bad social skills."
Nerd: " :( . That's not fair. "

Thats not an example, GIVE ME AN EXAMPLE

You can't because social skills don't exist and never will, same with NT
 
A social skill is any competence facilitating interaction and communication with others where social rules and relations are created, communicated, and changed in verbal and nonverbal ways. The process of learning these skills is called socialization. Lack of such skills can cause social awkwardness.

I dont want a subjective definition
 
Not as idiotic as your question.
My question is not idiotic. I hear social skills and nt theory spouted out all the time yet nobody can give me a definition of "social skills" and even autism has unreliable symptoms. Its ALL looks.

@rightfulcel
Like when you talk to a woman, just listen to what she has to say, don't interrupt her, don't try to justify yourself, just let her talk and listen!

Being funny/making each other laugh; being able to hold a conversation that doesn’t consist of autism; not being anxious; not making the other person uncomfortable with your autism
