With all the suffering, injustice, unequal opportunity and privilege in the world, this to me is the epitome of narcissism and selfishness.
Would you donate to this rather than to social services for, for example, thousands of homeless children in New York City alone?

- eevilspock 11y agoI've devoted my life to working for a better world for all. I quit my 6-figure job years ago to work on solutions or ways to convince others to work on solutions. I spend time on Hacker News because I'm trying to use my tech skills for these aims, to be a voice in a tech culture that is too prone to callousness (such as yours) and simplisitic notions that the free-market solves all. Why do you have to be mean? My comment wasn't mean, it was a criticism of the direction of our culture. Social progress doesn't happen without critique. I find it ironic that I'm being downvoted for speaking a valid but un-PC thought in a community that normally complains about the ills of political correctness.
