Got any sources to back this up? I'd rather not believe, but if it's so...

Sure do. Yarvin's AMA. https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/4bxf6f/im_curtis_yarvin_developer_of_urbit_ama/ https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/4bxf6f/im_curtis_yarv... http://www.breitbart.com/tech/2016/03/29/sjws-urge-programming-conference-to-ban-speaker-over-political-views/ http://www.breitbart.com/tech/2016/03/29/sjws-urge-programmi... Its the sum of these views, writings, and his own AMA that steered me clear of his stuff. Mainly, if he treats fellow members of the community like this, I'm sure not going to have a good fit in ... wherever he works on.

  "As for "race," you can learn way more about someone from a minute of conversation than from a full genome sequence -- even if we knew how to decode the information in the sequence, which we don't. As for politics, there is essentially no one sane who thinks of themselves as evil or wanting to do evil. I have lots of progressive friends, and you'd be surprised how many ways we can find to see the world in the same way." What a monster!

    It's the paragraph before that. "It's actually quite possible to recognize that human population genetics has a lot of impact on politics and history, and also recognize that human population genetics has nothing at all to do with your individual, personal and professional human relationships. Nor does politics." You can't really make that non-racist by adding "I have progressive friends and quite like puppies"

      Can you explain how that sentence is racist? I legitimately do not understand how it is.

  If you're an advocate for Social Justice then please apply your exorcism elsewhere. Surely we can discuss computing without beating the drum for morality every time. If I brought up the abortion issue in every biotech thread I'd get panned and rightly so.
