Monocule. Socialist. Coder. Liberationist. Neurodivergent. He/him. Partnered w @LizWaggoner. Second tenor, highest riser, blessed clever compromiser.
@CamUnknowing I picked up that the guy was conservative leaning early on but I was enjoying the book and I like Roger Scruton's modern philosophy book in spite of crankishness. But this was... not that.
