This was shockingly charitable. So many leftists hate the tenants of science, western culture, and wealth that they want to crush it under their heel.

The same people who oppose life extension on the grounds of the environmental cost probably applaud uneducated africans having 7 kids.

The people who oppose understanding a genetic basis of intelligence would tell you that each human is blank slate with equal potential to every other human.

The people who oppose wealth are the ones who advocate for full luxury socialism/communism.

Frankly, the only reason we have so many voices opposed to these good things is because our welfare state is too generous - people can survive on food stamps and ruminate about the moral evils of capitalism. If they had to get a job, their idle hands would do less of the devil's work.

It's good to see people waking up to the intolerance in San Francisco. I used to enjoy going there, now whenever I visit I have to change my phone background (away from a picture of a greek sculpture and the quote "tradition is not the worship of ashes but the preservation of fire") so no one tries to accuse me of being a n*zi and derails the business at hand. The world is worse for the intolerance but hard times make stronger people - what the world needs is titans and if we make a crucible for the titans then mission accomplished.
