Zuckerberg, Bezos, Cook, Sundar.
Roger Simon comes up with the mot juste for our self-appointed social media moderators and fact checkers.
[H]ere is why Big Tech is the way it is, why its leaders—with the exception of Peter Thiel and a few others—so uniformly think the way they do.
They’re extremely bright (largely) guys who have reinvented the way we communicate and even live and made giant fortunes in the process. They used to be nerds, but now they’re big shots, inhabiting expensive homes in the most expensive place in America, Silicon Valley.
Given their history and the monomaniacal, focused manner in which they got there, I would wager many of them suffer from Asperger’s—“a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by significant difficulties in social interaction and nonverbal communication, along with restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior and interests.”
They get technology, they get business, but they don’t really get people. They don’t read widely, only within their world. Their machines have revealed the truth and they want to make sure the world follows their orders, which are, after all, politically correct.
When they censor they are doing what they are convinced is the right thing. They are what we may call Asperger’s Fascists.

I do not think it is because they don’t get people. There is a coup going on. We all saw it during the fake election. But now they are busy looting the treasury and rescinding all rights. Imagine what might happen if, say, 20% or so of our citizens took serious offense and broke out the tar and feathers and maybe even the guillotine (or whatever the 21st century version of those things are). But the media (MSM and social media) are simultaneously diverting attention AND preventing meaningful communication of what is happening. Sure we all “know” that the government is writing trillion dollar checks to friends and family. Sure we all know that they are “infringing” on our god given rights. But most of us are accustomed to someone else stepping up and challenging our elected leaders if they do these kinds of things. But all we hear/read is silence. The Jan 6th riot was the PERFECT excuse to call up the military and put the fear of god/Pelosi in everyone. SO we are all sitting here not fully aware of how bad it will get or how quickly it is going to go tits up thinking “why doesn’t someone do something?). BUT what happens when it goes tits up and you can no longer divert our attention with the lasar pointer or MSM drivel? Really!! What happens then? This cluster fuck is actually going to go full tits up. What then?

I’m in the spectrum, but I don’t suffer.
And I don’t instinctively know how many people are in a room when I walk into it.
So I count them.
Asperger’s isn’t really recognized these days, considered autism.
ONE GUY:
you’re making a lot of sense.

All of which may help explain why “automatic” processes are triggered by criteria to produce outcomes that make absolutely no sense to a sane person. Such as the 737 MAX stall prevention sofware that is only active on takeoff (full power, gear down) and which has the singular capability for preventing a stall by sticking the nose of the aircraft into the dirt. Everyone on board the aircraft dies, but a stall was avoided. Looks like they want the entire country to function like that. Everyone dies, but never a harsh (hate) word was spoken.
