    The thing that turns my stomach is people like Paul Graham think they're suffering under a system created and perpetuated exclusively for his benefit.

I suspect that he's on the spectrum. He has a very consistent Data-like blindspot in his modeling of other people. It's like he sees everyone as Paul Graham.

No. I really doubt it. Many people have expressed to me just how generous, friendly, and thoughtful he is. I do think he is benevolent but limited in that regard.

Rush Limbaugh was well-known for being generous, friendly, and thoughtful to the people he interacted with. Empathy is the measure of how we regard people we'll never meet.
