Critically fails to distinguish between decentralization technologies (a wider category) and cryptocurrency. Does not understand the term he is criticizing.
There is another deeper primary failure here shared by much of the HN community. That is the inability, despite so much evidence, to comprehend that technology IS an ally to society. In fact, it has always been a core part of progress in human society.
But the above, and the article, are just laying out worldviews, which is not constructive since beliefs are very broad and quite difficult to change. What IS possible to discuss are specific types of problems and technological or non-technological solutions to them. The article provides nothing specific to discuss. It is simply idealogical flamebait and should be removed.
- DonHopkins 5y agoMost of HN is aware and mature enough to comprehend that Ayn Rand is NOT an ally of society.
- ilaksh 5y agoDo you have a browser extension that replaces the word "technology" with "Ayn Rand"? Have no idea what you are talking about. I was a fan of Ayn Rand when I read her as a kid. At this point I am close to the opposite of an Ayn Rand fan. Again, don't see how you possibly brought Ayn Rand into my comment.
