Without additional qualification, "political extremist" just means he holds unpopular views. (What else defines "extreme" in any absolute sense except for what's currently popular?)
Turning away potentially strong partners with well-understood and compatible investment philosophies and significant relevant achievements because they hold unpopular views in unrelated arenas is not good policy.

- mkal_tsr 12y agoMaybe YCombinator needs diversity in political beliefs on top of gender then? Get some anarcho-capitalists, anarcho-communists, a few facists/juche, sprinkle in some socialists, a hint of traditionalists, and a few neo-reactionaries. Hehe, that'd be fun to watch. Diversify all the attribute :-P
