Interesting that this post is now flagged, or "disappeared" from HN. Shame, as the conversation around it is enlightening. Just wondering, do people think it's OK to curtail reasoned discussion around a topic prompted by a post of this nature?
- yucky 5y ago>do people think it's OK to curtail reasoned discussion Yes, this has become the norm, and pretty quickly.
- hnov 5y agoIn particular, the level of discourse (and diversity of position on divisive topics) on HN has been trending towards reddit in my opinion.

- mathlover2 5y agoWhat are you talking about? I got here from the front page seconds ago where it was featured.
- somishere 5y agoMy comment was from 3 hours ago when the post was flagged and disappeared from the front page. Looks like it's been unflagged since :) Question still stands.
- mathlover2 5y agoI wouldn't know. Sorry :)
- mistermann 5y agoFrom rereading this whole thread now, I notice that about 90% of the commenters are only interested in 2 or 3 of the hundreds of attributes involved in this situation. It's amazing the lack of diversity in thought, and the amount/rate of simple, unforced(?) cognitive errors, on a site with such relatively high intellect. I think something important and unseen is going on here.
- somishere 5y agoToo late to edit the above, but seems the post has since been reinstated. Question stands.
