I personally do not think he is smart. He appears smart
because of how confidently (and egoistically) he expresses his
opinions. I find it ironic that although an advocate for personal
rights and freedom (or at least that is what I assume he is), he
condemns those who choose their religion, be it Christianity or
Islam. And recently, an advocate for consensual child pornography?
Seriously?
He is someone with a lot of hate and resentment, and judging
from his terrible experiences so far, he may have been forced to
adopt an excessively cynical world view. Just my opinion. But let's
all stop feeding his ego.
