Pax Dickinson

Pax Dickinson is the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) at WeSearchr and the former CTO of Business Insider.

He was also a co-founder of Glimpse and, according to his Twitter, "used to be the infamous Duck@jokeocracy".

Pax worked for Business Insider before getting slammed by Gawker for tweets he made.

Gawker reported various provocative and inflammatory Tweets without doing basic journalism to put them in context or obtain an explanation from Pax.

For instance, tweet about a sequel to Passion of the Christ with the Virgin Mary getting raped was a spoof of Mel Gibson and the telephone rant he left on his girlfriend's answering machine.

Some of the Tweets do reflect Dickinson's outlandish and contrarian views.

He has somewhat Libertarian views but said the Libertarians are too supportive of Democracy, a system of government that he sees as a means for majorities to seek beneficial treatment and favoritism.

He's also said that women voters tend to support bigger and more protective government.
