There's a difference between condemning him as a person and making an assessment that his character might lead to certain drawbacks if he is in charge of one of the world's most powerful media companies.
- TheCraiggers 6y agoI agree. However, this article crosses the line IMHO. With some lines as: > Zuckerberg in particular has minimal capacity to communicate the way human beings naturally do. > For every question directed to him, he paused for several seconds, had his internal algorithms search for the relevant place in the metaphorical cassette inserted in a hidden box in his back, uttered the word “Congressman” or “Congresswoman,” stopped for several more seconds to search for the next applicable spot in the spine-cassette, and then proceeded unblinkingly to recite the words slowly transmitted into his neurons. And so on. That's not critiquing his character. That's ad hominem at best and bullying behavior that you'd find in grade school at worst.
- smeej 6y agoThere is absolutely a place, and even a critical place, for level-headed assessment of the advantages and disadvantages anyone brings to any role. That's not what I'm criticizing. I'm criticizing the general acceptance of treating people with autism as though they're deficient as human beings.
