This isn't hypocrisy but rather a genuine question, I do agree that (family circumstances, disability) can be limiting. But at a certain level it does seems counter-productive to proclaim that you are being oppressed by an imaginary different class "suits". It drives an emotional response but offers very little in terms of actual solutions. Finally at "Hacker" News ran by an investment firm, how should not this hacker spirit be a prevailing opinion? Mortgage/Debt/Lack of savings can be overcome. Regarding being good executor and not being great businessman, you won't really find out before actually having a business.

Circumstances can put you "below" certain other people, some of whom would try to abuse their status. Our response to that can be anywhere from obeying to quitting and even suing. But this is life, we still live in a survivalist world with social classes, things that are arbitrarily given to us (both material and non-material) and those given to others. > Finally at "Hacker" News ran by an investment firm, how should not this hacker spirit be a prevailing opinion? True, but as the front page shows right now the interests here are pretty diverse. Plus, purely motivational "Just do it" kind of posts are usually met with disapproval. My impression is that people here want to know more specific things about how to raise funds, how to run companies (the rules of the game), what technologies to use. > Mortgage/Debt/Lack of savings can be overcome. Uh-oh :)
