Your comment is the same superficial “hey I’m just asking questions!” deflection that a lot of lazy intellectualism resorts to. “Maybe eugenics is a good idea because we can create a biologically superior human, we should at least discuss it!”
- loopz 6y agoNo, his post require thought, which is not immediately obvious. Thus it gets ignored or dv. It's just a reaction to the free market magical chimp thinking out there.
- ineedasername 6y agoConsidering it's a form of economics that a sizeable portion of HN think is best, it is not at all equivalent to randomly bringing up a topic that has long been held by most of society to be a bad idea and saying "just asking the question!". It is broaching the topic in a way that doesn't automatically get upvoted by people who agree with it, or automatically downvoted by those who disagree. I also wasn't asking a question. I was giving an actual example of the consequences of the economic system many HN'ers believe in.
