I'm sort of baffled by this: why would anyone care if he's giving a tech talk? It reminds me of the Brendan Eich situation. I disagree with his political views, but also.. who gives a shit? It's immaterial to the job.
I used to read moldbug and I thought he was really incisive for a while, but his blog kept getting more and more, uh, esoteric. (basically unreadable -- it got hard to figure out what point he was even trying to make) All the same though, I don't really care about moldbug's political affiliations in a tech talk, I'd rather just hear what he has to say.
(Also: how many attendees would even really know who he was or care enough to protest it?)
