Lay social science, even if common among techies, is hardly what I’d call “inevitable,” just because it might have “law” in the term.
EDITed to address regionalism.
- dang 6y agoPlease keep regional swipes out of your posts here. It's needlessly provocative. HN's community is distributed all over the world; only 10% of it is in SV last I checked. The odds are higher that you're talking to someone who's geographically closer to you than either of you is to SV.
- Apocryphon 6y agoSV has become not just a place, but a way of thinking endemic in software engineers and/or tech entrepreneurs. See the Californian Ideology for a similar related phenomenon.
- dang 6y agoWell, if you want to go that route, HN has a great many members who don't subscribe to that ideology, including many who are on the cutting edge of critiquing it (or at least closely follow those who are), including many who are physically in SV. It's complicated.
