This unlikely cultural crossover reminds me of a piece of writing I saw on Stacker News. It's a on John Perry Barlow, Grateful Dead lyricist, digital right group EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation) co-founder, and generally seen as an early member of the cypherpunk movement.

Highly recommend you give a read to someone that seemed to "Forrest Gump" himself into a couple of completely unrelated counter-culture movements.
