"Viewpoint diversity is arguably the most important type of diversity and political orientation is one of the most fundamental and significant ways in which people view things differently."
As an experiment, I'd like to see if HN upvotes or downvotes this statement from the memo.
I'm willing to put my karma score on the line to find out what HNers believe (this will help me decide if HN is a community worth investing further time in).
- ryanx435 9y agoThe HN community lives in a very large ideological bubble. The technical articles are good, though.
- cbeach 9y agoIt's a pity isn't it? I hoped the HN community would still see the value in "diversity of opinion" - even if said notion was uttered by a "haram" individual. The leftist, tribal mindset is clearly a powerful and poisonous thing for all sorts of communities. Let me know if you find a better one for discussing new tech.
- TimTheTinker 9y agoThat's kind of an "us vs them" statement. Tribalism in any camp is counterproductive.
- humanrebar 9y agoYou might be getting downvoted by people who don't like this kind of experiment. Or your use of scare quotes or something. I'm not sure you can draw a lot of conclusions from the score on your post. But, yes, most of the HN community lives in a bubble. If we're honest, we all do, but people who take pride on their education and intelligence are especially challenged when finding that kind of humility.
- cbeach 9y agoGood points. I have removed the scare quotes (not intended as such)
