Paul Graham isn't 50% of the way between American Democrat and American Republican either; he's using "moderate" in an idiosyncratically modern American way. The fact that we'd have to hash this out on the thread is just another good illustration of why this post doesn't belong here.

Do you know where PG stands in the Nolan diagram?
IMO - having been around these parts for some time - PG is fairly centrist on social justice re non-class-based identities, and extremely individualist, to the point of injustice blindness, on economics. You'd almost have to be, to be a VC and sleep at night.

I had to laugh. As you are a reasonably prolific contributor here, I've seen dozens if not hundreds of your comments. It's gotten to the point I can reliably tell when it's a tptacek comment before I even read the byline. And it's not because you have stances on both sides of the political aisle.
