Oh, wow. Starts off fairly innocent then comes in with this craziness -

"Many leftists have an intense identification with the problems of groups that have an image of being weak (women), defeated (American Indians), repellent (homosexuals) or otherwise inferior. The leftists themselves feel that these groups are inferior. They would never admit to themselves that they have such feelings, but it is precisely because they do see these groups as inferior that they identify with their problems. (We do not mean to suggest that women, Indians, etc. ARE inferior; we are only making a point about leftist psychology.)"



That pathological contempt for "the left" is how you know you're dealing with a work of true intellectual gravity.


There's lots of geniuses who are a little crazy or unhinged. e.g. bobby fischer


He was a raging anti-semite, holocaust denier, etc.


again, "geniuses who are a little crazy or unhinged".


Bigotry is just bigotry not a quirky trait of genius, as much as a one-time chess champion is a 'genius'.


yeah, read around that stuff. most important are the bits related to tech.
