But there are also those that he describes as outsiders: "seemingly crazed anarcho-capitalist-types," the ones who get all the press and seem to define "transhumanist" in the minds of outsiders. He describes the vast majority as being basically liberal, if mostly apolitical — the kind of people who fall left on the spectrum but don't feel the need to do anything about it. "They don't want to bother arguing with the libertarians and anarcho-capitalists," he said, "because they're not that political and they know it's a waste of time to argue with the ideologically convinced."
