I don't suppose you'd be so kind as to just imitate my beliefs? It would really save me some time here!

- kragen 5y agoHow would that help? Wouldn't it just make the problem much worse? Instead of futilely arguing against the kind of scumbag that turned Twitter into the vile cesspool it is today and is now infesting HN, I'd become another one of them! I may not be any smarter than you are, and I can't solve differential equations, but at least I can remain less of an asshole, and continue making helpful contributions like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28592961 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28592961, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28591650 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28591650, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28467260 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28467260, or https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28466492 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28466492 instead of sinking this place further into chimpanzee dominance games by launching baseless calumnies at strangers as you're doing. I mean, I do hold myself above you. But it's not because I think you're even stupider than I am, which would be quite a remarkable feat. It's because you're spending your efforts to try to hurt people and I'm spending my efforts to try to help them.
