@gerikson@awful.systems I know Neal (we've gone drinking together) and I think he *is* right wing/conservative by disposition, but also thoughtful enough to understand nuance and shades of grey: he's not a reflexive knee-jerk type, or willing to follow someone else's flag.

Damn, imagine living in this world and being like “You know, those people who’d keep women chained to the house, kill the gays, force a state religion on people, and segregated society have some good points”

Did you ever ask him about his day job? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neal_Stephenson#Outside_of_… is pretty colorful and the sword kickstarter especially was not a good look.
