Interesting last name. I searched on the Internet for Sacha Baron-Cohen (Ali G., Borat, Bruno) to see if there was any connection. Wikipedia states "Internationally renowned autism researcher Simon Baron-Cohen is his cousin." Those must be interesting family gatherings.
Autism and empathy? People with autism may show seriously impaired empathy, but that does not necessarily make them evil, just lacking in empathy, a trait shared by some who are truly evil.
Thus one sees the disease of liberalism in a nutshell. Wait til evil slams him up the side of the head. Then again he'd probably rationalize it as he's being taken out. reminds me of the idiot 'genius' scientist in the original 'Thing' who wanted to 'reason' with the monster saying it was wiser etc. Great allegory for liberal 'understandin' Talk about self destructive. Sheesh! Lol! The word verification is glumb. Lol!
The personal development of one's empathy could be an extremely useful survival tool. I can see where the ability to recognise on a moment's notice who should or should not be shot or otherwise speedily dispatched could very well prolong one's life expectancy.
If this egghead confronted some of that supposed 'lack-of-empathy' at it's most pathological (and that was made into a movie - instead of remaining in his ivory tower, pontificating in books and interviews - it would be a very short film.
OPENING SCENE: The good Doc let's the Hannibal-Lector character loose from all those prison-restraints (Mr. Lector's 'sick' not 'evil' - that's just an inherited word).
SCENE 2: Then through the good Doc's manuvering gets Lector set free, even walking him to the front gate (or to his office) to get treatment/empathy-training (Mr. Lector's empathy-deficient, he's a unique -6 on the 0-6 empathy-scale devised by me, so I can train him up to be more 'caring').
CLOSING SCENE: Lastly the good Doc begins his oh-so-'scientific study' of Mr. Lector over a quiet lunch...but never quite finishes the 'treatment' as he finds out a little too late he's the main course.

I just might have to watch "The Thing" now.
