It's almost like he came to his own conclusions about stuff, without adhering to any specific ideologyAlso, been called the father of libertarian sci-fi, lol.
I like sci-fi because you can usually examine some heavy hitting topics, but avoid some of the angst. Heinlein examined a lot of things and was a better writer for it.It's almost like he came to his own conclusions about stuff, without adhering to any specific ideology
He definitely did have some stuff he actually believed in, but your thesis is perhaps supported by the fact that in his later work he declined a bit more into sexual fantasies and solipsism.Huh. The more I read about him, the more I think he just wanted to get it on, and his political philosophy was just, "Yes, dear, now we can go have sex with other people?"
ETA- not that there's anything wrong with that.
Yeah, you have plausible deniability and can get things by the censors. Oh, my, no! This episode isn't about gay people. It's about an alien species with no gender and one of them is oppressed when they come out as being a woman. So it's totally okay if Riker bones her.I like sci-fi because you can usually examine some heavy hitting topics, but avoid some of the angst.

Still one of my favorite writers, overall, but some of that later stuff is a bit yikes.
