#7To me Paul Graham is completely unique. He is really a master of words, and at times also a beautiful writer.

"Dangerous Ideas"? These are pedestrian essays on barely-concealed white nationalism. These guys are concerned about "Western Culture" and seemingly obsessed with IQ. In fact the two essays (other than the about page) I read both mentioned IQ in the first paragraph. The first referring to a jewish man with an IQ of 115, and the second referring to a black congresswoman having a "low IQ".
These aren't dangerous ideas. These are tired, lazy rantings by insecure white men. These "ideas" have been around for generations. There isn't anything new or dangerous about them. The danger, however, does lie in their ability to radicalize weak-willed people (young men) into becoming terrorists.
