John Lennon and Yoko Ono's concept of a peaceful world.
If everyone wore a bag over them there wouldn't be anything to hate about them.

John : What’s Bagism? It’s like...a tag for what we all do, we’re all in a bag ya know, and we realised that we came from two bags, I was in this pop bag going round and round in my little clique, and she was in her little avant-garde clique going round and round, and you’re in your little tele clique and they’re in their...ya know? and we all sort of come out and look at each other every now and then, but we don’t communicate. And we all intellectualize about how there is no barrier between art, music, poetry... but we’re still all - I’m a rock and roller, he’s a poet... so we just came up with the word so you would ask us what bagism is, and we’d say WE’RE ALL IN A BAG BABY!

A world where no one looks at your lifestyle, the color of your skin, or your gender to judge you, just like if everyone was covered with a bag.
John Lennon Started Bagism
by William Rutledge April 3, 2006
A metaphorical medical condition in which your entire body is always covered by a bag that is imperceptible to other people, but you yourself feel and act awkward all the time because it’s hard to see out of your bag or move around in it.
Sort of a twist on John Lennon’s original idea of the same name, except that instead of everyone else wearing a bag, only you have one. Lennon’s idea was of a world where everyone is equal, but with this kind of bagism, it’s the opposite because you’re different from everyone else.
Of course, this condition doesn’t exist in reality. But it does make a decent metaphor for autism.

Todd: Oh, I’m sorry I bumped into you by mistake, I’m just clumsy because I have bagism and it’s sometimes hard to tell where everything is.

Steve: I just read a book about John Lennon, and he was talking about bagism. I think it’s such a great idea!
Sal: Oh, trust me, bagism is overrated. I‘ve had it for my whole life.
