Wow. So you don't think that the abilities and attitude of business people matter to the economy, even startups? I hope that the potential and actual startups/businesses on this site don't have this attitude. If this was the prevailing attitude then to say the economy would 'suffer' would be an understatement. Whether an MBA improves or signifies ability is another matter entirely.
- dejb 17y agoSo has this place officially turned from being interested internet business into a bunch of whining complainers about 'the system' like reddit? Sad
- scott_s 17y agoNo, I think the parent's point was that if bright people still go into fields that matter, then the economy won't "suffer." Also, the parent joined HN 12 days after you.

So by implication business isn't a field that particularly matters. People passionate about startups just wouldn't agree with that. > Also, the parent joined HN 12 days after you. I was more talking about the voters (both parent up voters and my down voters). Anyone can make a throw away comment but voting patterns say something. It would be really interesting to know the average 'age' of the up-voters and what other posts/comments where correlated. I'm detecting a growing 'arts studenty', anti-capitalist, humanist, complaining sentiment here (i.e. reddit). I'd prefer a community that has a deeper interest in getting stuff done rather than complaining about the 'system'.
