His ideology is just fine.

His Matrix economic score would suggest profoundly evil... but seems just fine when he elaborates.

His brand of conservatism is much less awful than the norms of the GOP today.

It's for the most part unreconstructed Whiggery, but there are admirable elements of self-awareness and a social-democratic overlay that mitigate that somewhat.

Elaborate.

I could be misreading your intentions or motivations or something but most of the time you do appear to view movement towards your positions on many political and cultural issues--positions which tend to emphasize personal autonomy, come across as generally individualist in focus, and take a very high view of the role of science and technology--as in some sense inherent, or at least to view deviation from this as aberrant and requiring explanation, and this seems to be a central enough concern for the image of your views that comes across on the forum that your thought process as a whole ends up looking very Whiggish.

That's probably somewhat accurate.  I do feel in many ways I am representing what humanity will catch up to.  Arrogant, yes, but there are much worse things one can be.

Mainline destructive American capitalist thought.  "Destructive" is probably part of the idea though, so it's definitely a self-aware ideology, for which credit is due.

Libertarianism.  Blech!  To think I once gave them the benefit of the doubt.
