- hitekker 5y agoYeah, it's hard to know anything that contradicts your identity, which Paul Graham (the founder of HN) alluded to in his piece: http://www.paulgraham.com/identity.html http://www.paulgraham.com/identity.html When people call us out on it, our first instinct is denial, to profess ignorance of outcomes and to assert our largely imaginary objectivity and skepticism.
