I propose YC create a series of clases on business and economics. Every time I read through a business discussion on HN I cringe. The lack of understanding is, at times, astounding. And yet everyone thinks they "know" what's going on and base a bunch of conclusions and opinions on exactly nothing. Sometimes I wonder how it is that people rationalize having these opinions and reaching these conclusions when it is obvious they have not taken a single business class and they have never run a non-trivial business. I hate to bring-up Dunning-Kruger. Yes, I know, some call it controversial. OK, I won't. I'll call it "talking out of your ass". Because, frankly, to someone with real business experience, this is almost exactly what it all sounds like. People talking about stuff they know nothing about. Not sure why some feel compelled to do that, yet, they do. If you are a software developer, imagine someone posting a bunch of opinions on a relevant subject and you instantly knowing they have no clue what they are talking about. I don't know, scaling Django. Pick anything you really know and imagine a person "talking out of their ass". Well, that's what it looks like in these business/economics discussions most of the time. You can count the number of people who actually know what they are talking about with one or two hands most of the time. The rest is noise. I don't know where it comes from, but it is in a range between funny, silly and sad.
