There are certain boundaries that some people have no problem crossing, and this might be a quality that gets them ahead in certain avenues like big business. Another way to maybe define it is "soulless" outlook on life.

Then you are not writting about persons being more or less autistic. You are writing about psychopaths or sociopaths probably if I understood it correctly... And while some autistic people are prone for such behaviour - that NOT means every such person is evil psycho !

And well... I don't think Linus is psychopath. I suspect he has "normal" social disabilities being linked with mild autism,but after being surrounded by wrong people and not understanding people,society and so on... Even neurotypical person if is surrounded by leftists gets serious social life problems and is prone to indoctrination and manipulation...

Bill Gates and Steve Jobs however, Epstein and Maxwell however - definitely they are/were examples of psychopaths.
