    637. Is There A Link Between Autism & Extremism? - Prof. Ed Dutton
    Mar 25 2026
    Ed Dutton exposes how autistic traits fuel extreme politics on both woke left and "woke right" Ed Dutton is back on Heretics with Andrew Gold for an unfiltered, explosive interview that connects the dots between autism, neurodivergence, and the rise of radical politics. Discover how autistic traits — obsessive systematizing, poor theory of mind, low cognitive empathy, black-and-white thinking, and intense need for order — create the perfect psychological profile for extreme activists and leaders on both the woke left (think Greta Thunberg-style crusaders) and the emerging "woke right" (purity-spiraling far-right factions obsessed with grievance and dogma). Get Ed's Book: https://edwarddutton.com/index.php/books/ Watch the bonus part: https://andrewgoldheretics.com SPONSORS: Check Plaud UK: https://bit.ly/40Gzdh1 | US: https://bit.ly/475MQKe Notepro: https://bit.ly/479tWSR Organise your life: https://akiflow.pro/Heretics Earn up to 4 per cent on gold, paid in gold: https://www.monetary-metals.com/heretics/ Cut your wireless bill to 15 bucks a month at https://mintmobile.com/heretics Dutton breaks down why these traits produce geniuses who rock the boat but also unstable identities, frequent meltdowns, and movements that fracture quickly. We dive deep into historical and modern examples: Margaret Thatcher's possible autism, Elon Musk's unaccountable power and autistic traits, Churchill's rumored sensitivities, and the dark-triad drive behind anti-woke rebels like Andrew himself. Then comes the real shocker — Dutton's controversial new book on "The Quaker Question," exposing how this tiny, virtue-signaling group has quietly bankrolled and shaped endless left-wing causes for centuries (from anti-slavery to modern anti-colonialism, prison reform, vegetarianism, and even early naked protests). Are Quakers the real hidden hand behind woke ideology? Packed with evolutionary psychology insights, personality trait analysis, and no-holds-barred takes on purity spirals, victimhood culture, grievance hierarchies, and why both extremes attract the same unstable psychology. This is the kind of raw, anti-woke conversation mainstream media would never touch — don't miss it. #AutismPolitics #WokeRight #EdDutton Join the 30k heretics on my mailing list: https://andrewgoldheretics.com Check out my new documentary channel: https://youtube.com/@andrewgoldinvestigates Andrew on X: https://twitter.com/andrewgold_ok Insta: https://www.instagram.com/andrewgold_ok Heretics YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@andrewgoldheretics Chapters: 0:00 Ed Dutton Highlights 0:55 Autism Drives Political Extremes – Left & Right 5:00 Autistic Traits: Low Empathy, High Systematizing, Genius Fuel 12:00 Is Andrew Gold on the SPECTRUM?

I have read Andy Ngo's book and found it fascinating. It was good to have an interview that allowed Mr. Ngo to speak freely and explain what he experienced without interruptions.
