Threads like this getting buried on HN are a symptom of the ideological intolerance and echo-chamber problems that lead to people like the interviewer never having encountered Peterson's ideas before.
- Yetanfou 9y agoThe solution to that problem can be found in accessing HN through the RSS feed. This way you get to see everything that is posted (to the feed) without the bias effect of the high-and-low game of the front page ranking. This actually goes for all news, not just HN. Accessing it through a feed reader makes it possible to see other interesting behaviour, e.g. news outlets quickly correcting article headings or actually deleting articles. It shows you the headings in the order of publication and leaves any ranking up to you. Of course this only works as long as news outlets publish an RSS (or Atom) stream and as long as that stream is not censored.

- dang 9y agoNo, it's a symptom of HN not being a place for ideological battle. Users flag such posts, presumably for that reason. If you want a site dedicated to this sort of disputation, there are other places to find that, and room for new forums as well. There's a class of users who only want to fight these same fights over and over again, they're a minority, they're not using HN in its intended spirit, and they shouldn't have the ability to fundamentally alter it for the users who do.
