n4 posted:Also, I learned recently John C. Wright has some weird, regressive and rigid attitudes about all sorts of poo poo. It's hard to read his books now and not catch him inserting his ultra-conservative ideas in it, even when talking about strange human offshoots 70,000 years in the future. I was enjoying the Golden Oecumene books but part-way through I realized it was basically post-singularity Ayn Rand. there's a hegemonizing swarm as a stand in for Communism. he was an athiest back then. now I think he's an extremely hardcore right wing Catholic.
