Must really be a pretty bad right winger given that he talks so much about being liberal and donates to Democrats[0].

Okay maybe hes not a right winger , just pseudo scientific


Or more likely given that your first claim was clearly incorrect you are just trying to paint him in a bad light and your specific accusations have little real basis.


That article says he donated to what he considered an “Effective Altruist”, so the party affiliation was probably secondary.

Politically, he’s a centrist with some libertarian/communitarian mix-ins. More conservative now than he was in the Archipelago days. [0]

Dude used to love Musk and the other technocrats before that became cringe in actual leftist circles.
