    Anyone who's politically moderate (http://paulgraham.com/mod.html ) and interested in ideas will be arguing mostly against the left. The right is as wrong as the left, but the left is culturally dominant, so in intellectual questions, a moderate will be right of the median.

        More importantly, the truth will be right of the median.

        why do you think left is culturally dominant? data shows otherwise (unless you mean some arbitrary area instead of the entire world)

        In the US the media and entertainment industry are nearly all left. I used Twitter for sports news and there are almost no conservatives. Now I switched to biz people and it’s nicely balanced perspectives. Still lots of pettiness everywhere though

        What I find interesting is how the left doesn't want to admit that the left is culturally dominant... Is it just a blind spot, or worse?

        I think you meant "in intellectual public discourse".

        You do realize though, that someone on the right would use exactly this arguement? For people on the right it would always seem that the left is culturally dominant.

        If the right didn't believe the left had some kind of dominance they would not be able to constantly claim victimhood and then they would have to admit to being the bullies, which would make them sad.
