The weirdest one for me is the guy who wrote Altered Carbon. Who is a transphobic centrist who wrote three books about how transhumanist Maoists are cool and good (apparently wasn't his intention).
Being a centrist usually requires a ton of "communism bad" brainworms and being a transphobe always requires a ton of patriarchal brainworms. Neither of these are opinions you arrive at rationally, they are the result of people taking a wrong intellectual turn due to indoctrination, and both of these wrong turns can be found among all kinds of people, even those who in theory agree that Maoist goals and bodily autonomy are cool and good. These people will only agree these principles are cool and good as long as they are not exposed to the socially ingrained triggers of their fears, like a crowd of workers waving red banners, or people transing their gender.
