There's a pattern of left-leaning mathematician he fits into, that I also see in some other mathematicians, one example being LKY and probably his son. People who would have equality of outcome as a goal, but see through the bullshit, aren't inclined to play along with it, are smart enough to understand concepts of trade-offs and incentives, and stay tied to reality instead of drifting off into a world of words and analogies. They look kind of right wing, but they'd support an inheritance tax that real right wingers would oppose.
