- dredmorbius 4y agoA paper dedicated to presenting a wide range of opinions, labeled as opinion, publishes a wide range of opinion, labeled as opinion. This surprises you? The opinions and arguments in an opinion piece are those of the author, not the paper. Much as the opinions and arguments in HN comments are those of the commentor, not of YC.
- booboofixer 4y agoReading arguments that are so full of wisdom from more than a 100 years ago is one of the very rare things that I truly enjoy these days. If these people were alive today, I would thank them in writing. It's disturbing how arguments in favor of privacy today are met with criticisms so weak logically that humanity does not stand a chance. It's tough to not explode with rage when somebody says "but in the caveman days, nobody had their own room they could go to be alone" ... Yes but you could walk 30 minutes in any direction and never have to deal with your cave pals ever again.
