Well if we go by your narrative then the world is anyways doomed. Since majority of the planet has no education, interest, or intelligence to understand anything complicated, their votes are not going to vote for solving problems which are important, but irrelevant to them. IMHO, unless your cause is important to the masses, it is doomed. You should probably think how can you help the blissful, ignorant majority to understand your perspective from their point of view to achieve your cause.
- g45y45 8y agoI agree -- we are doomed. I have no cause. I stopped believing in democracy a long time ago. I have zero interest in helping others to understand my perspective, best we can hope for is to slow down the tech parasites from harvesting their digital souls.
- spaced-out 8y agoSo what do you propose? That there should be no social media, including Hacker News?
- g45y45 8y agoI propose the systemic dismantling of the Zuckerberg empire, hard prison time for the execs, and industry banishment for its employees and collaborators. HN is just a news aggregator with social-media like comments section. Its not social media. If the unwashed masses (instead of whatever Technorati that hangs out here) decided to call this home, im out! ;-)

- spaced-out 8y agoWhat's the difference between a website that's "social-media like" and one that's "social-media"?
- enitihas 8y agoCuriously, what governance system do you believe in. Philosopher Kings like Plato suggested? Doesn't history show us that all government systems are flawed. Do you think there is any hope for humanity in some alternative system?
