- flukus 8y agoHN only likes science when it has PC conclusions.
- dang 8y agoPlease don't post unsubstantive comments here. HN is divided on divisive issues. Anthropomorphizing it into something that "likes" what you dislike and "dislikes" what you like is just an illusion, but has become a rhetorical trick, as cheap as it is common. Please don't do that here.
- Yetanfou 8y agoFor the same reason that Galilei and Copernicus came into conflict with the Roman Catholic church authorities, why Socrates was forced to drink poison for 'corrupting the youth': some ideas are not tolerated within certain societies no matter their scientific underpinning. In other words, those ideas go against the dogmata [1] of such societies. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dogma https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dogma
- dang 8y agoBecause (a) you violated the site guidelines by editorializing the title (see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17147115 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17147115), and (b) to do that when the subject matter is divisive is flamebait, violating the guidelines in a second and worse way. HN's rules are the way they are for good reason. Please (re-)read and follow them from now on: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html. Threads are acutely sensitive to initial conditions. What you did made a very large increase in the probability that this discussion would be ruined before it began.
