I agree that there are asocial people in this profession, but no more than in any other profession I think this is clearly false. The sciences attract the type of personality that is capable of intense focus which seems to be paired with some difficulties in social interaction (Asperger's lite?). While I'm well socially adjusted now, I am introverted by nature and had to work at fixing social deficiencies my friends never exhibited. When I look at peers in my field I see either people like me who had to work at being socially well-adjusted or people who are still socially stunted because they never took the time to work on it. I have met very very few programmer-social-butterflies. I believe this also explains why there are relatively few women in our field: this type of personality is not as common in women. [That being said, I think 'Anti-Social' is more of an insult than a description of a personality trait. And his presentation looks condescending.]
