Judging by the downvotes, we're just going to have to accept that institutionalized classism is the price we pay for being on HN.

- vinceguidry 11y agoI'd argue that HN is practically the only place in the whole world one can just walk in to and get serious, current, and actionable information on real-world social ladder-climbing. Nobody here believes you should "know your place", but the more you learn about the world and business, the more you see just how hard this shit really is. The downvotes aren't out of classism, but because your posts are not constructive to the discussion. They articulate a philosophical viewpoint and offer no real information of the sort I described earlier. HN is not your soapbox.
