DFW had a girlfriend and allegedly tried to push her out of a moving car.
No accusations against pg. Except hnbad who vaguely writes "Debatable" in this thread.
- mistermann 5y agoIt's the perspective of roughly "maximizing ones possible achievements". Paul Graham is rich, connected, and inluential, to what degree (in percentage terms) does he use this to make the world a better place?
- nuclearnice3 5y agoGotcha. Those who are rich, connected, and influential could all seriously consider our impacts on the world. I don't see failing to use your wealth well and trying to push someone out of a car as equivalent "shitty things."
- colinmhayes 5y agoI do. In fact, pushing someone out of a car only hurts one person. Not utilizing your resources for good hurts thousands, maybe even, millions.
- mistermann 5y agoEspecially when "your" wealth is fairly arbitrary, and hardly democratically decided.
