> From this standpoint, I could see [..] there are so many different standpoints you could take from the HN population. - "HN focuses on tech; novel tech tends to be anti-regulation => HN must be anti-mandate." - "HN focuses on engineering; engineering is often an optimization game that involves balancing tradeoffs => HN must believe COVID response relative to all the other risks we face is an over-reaction." - and of course the one you presented. my theory is that opinions within any group are just more divergent than people realize. some groups do a better job than others in (a) understanding that and (b) working with that. it's almost all cultural: do people in your culture publicly voice their non-conforming views, and to what degree do people in your culture update their beliefs when they hear new information?
