“The symptoms of Aspberger syndrome and the “lack, or dearth, of demonstrated empathy…and impaired nonverbal behaviors in areas such as eye contact, facial expression, posture, and gesture,” which were very much in evidence during the Congressional testimonies of Big Tech CEOs, Mark Zuckerberg and Jack Dorsey.
Whittle remarks at “…how unnatural they were, how almost inhuman they were, how fundamentally wrong they appeared. Dorsey was essentially incoherent and virtually incapable of speaking…Zuckerberg displayed the kind of passive facial expression that that is, I think impossible to imitate unless you have something really fundamentally wrong with you.
“If you are being…grilled by a Senate Committee and for hours, your face is just a stone mask of impassivity and your responses are so monotonal, so completely devoid of any emotion; no anger, no enthusiasm, no resentment, no desire to prove things. Certainly, no sense of humor. All of these things, watching them at the time struck me as very odd…but now that I look at this, I realize that these symptoms seem to be more or less consistent and if that’s true, then we have got a problem on our hands that is even bigger than the problem that we thought we had on our hands”… -(Bill Whittle)
