The ineptness of the revenge of the nerds of the big tech companies
Peter Thiel suggested that
the reason big tech companies like Google are now working with China
in artificial intelligence, which China promptly applies toward their
dream of military dominance of the world, may be because big tech
companies like Google, Facebook and Apple are full of people with the
Asperger syndrome developmental disorder, which Wikipedia describes
as “a spectrum of psychological conditions that are characterized
by abnormalities of social interaction and communication that pervade
the individual's functioning, and by restricted and repetitive
interests and behavior,” which lend themselves well to computer
engineering etc. but not so well to political diplomacy.
In some cases the nerds
did manage to grab on to anarchic
libertarianism and even cultural Marxism in our corrupted colleges
and universities which they use to justify their obsessions, and
which is about as political as they can manage to be. And
no doubt there is some revenge of the nerds going on here as pay back for
being dweebs and freaks in high school---becoming billionaires does
bring a few of the cheerleader types around, at last, as well as big
smiles from greedy businessmen who were probably once captains of the high school football team.
These
big tech nerds aren't benign dweebs, as we see from their China
alliances, they need attending and oversight and not free reign,
no-matter how much they object to restricting their politically inept
repetitive interests and behavioral obsessions.
