Man, who cares? Does this satisfy anyone's intellectual curiosity or is it just that anything a VC says is automatically relevant and interesting? I don't care

Man, who cares? Does this satisfy anyone's intellectual curiosity or is it just that anything a VC says is automatically relevant and interesting? I don't care what this dude does with his money and time.

- peteretep 10y agoThe great thing about Tim's writing is that he challenges "obvious" beliefs and fundamentals, and is very introspective. My life was changed, and remains changed by reading 4 Hour Work Week pretty much when it came out. Am I living his definition of it? Absolutely not. Did it challenge me to make large changes in the parts of my life I wasn't happy with? It did. I've found the same with his other writing too.
- enraged_camel 10y agoPlease refrain from posting "who cares" type comments. They add nothing to the discussion. If you aren't interested in a submission, simply skip over it.
- hueving 10y agoJust downvote and move on. No need to lecture (I realize the hypocrisy of this comment).
- sandmansandine 10y agoI think they do add something, granted it could be phrased differently, but sometimes "Who Cares?", full stop, is a perfectly valid question.
- enraged_camel 10y agoIt's not a valid question when something reaches the front page, which requires quite a few votes within a specific timeframe. If no one cared, it wouldn't reach the front page.
- sandmansandine 10y agoRight, so people care, but the question is who, not a binary of whether or not people care, obviously people do if it's on the front page, the new question posed is who and an implied why.
- enraged_camel 10y agoAt least in American English, the phrase "who cares" is not meant to be interpreted literally. It's not a question, but rather a (flippant) way of saying "I don't care" or "no one cares." Note that the poster in question expands on this and ends their post with, "I don't care what this dude does with his money and time." The people who do care about the article have upvoted it. Other than the ones who have commented, it doesn't matter who has found it interesting. The only thing that matters is that enough people have.
