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.
