Once you stop reading HN comments, your opinion of humanity should improve.
- eatonphil 4y agoSome news sites like The Atlantic seem to be perpetually really negative. I used to think it was a good site and I do think the writers are smart. But more recently every time I visit the front page it really just feels like it's designed to make me feel outraged. Certainly there are things to feel outraged about. But with some news sites it feels commercially manipulative.

[:grin:] On the one hand, ignorance of reality by avoidance just postpones the problem; on the other, there is sufficient difference here, and from a public of comparatively discreet selection (potentially actually quite high), to show that "losing faith about humanity" is a statistical and stochastic phenomenon - facts do not show only "pure doom".
