A real moderate would be immediately suspicious, regardless of political stance, of any claim that a thesis paper written 50 years ago was somehow relevant to the same person's current political position.
Besides, I thought colleges were supposed to be a bastion of free ideas where people could say controversial opinions?
- hindsightbias 7y agoWhat’s a real moderate? An on-purpose one or an accidental one? My take on PG’s point is that the vast majority of moderates are on-purpose, and those people are not going to be curious. An accidental one isn’t going to be a real moderate, except occasionally. Otherwise they’d be on-purpose.
