As one of those who commented on the first article [1], I would still like to figure out how his problem could be solved from first principles if it isn't interpreted as depression.

How could a social network be built to find the few people who think alike when that group doesn't have well-established labels?

I think your parent's point wasn't "these are the wrong first principles to bring to the attempt to solve their problem", but rather "no-one who's only read this post is in a position meaningfully to try to solve their problem" (setting aside whether that's even the right goal).
- closedloop129 4y agoI agree with my parent that it's difficult to solve depression from first principles. However, I think that there is the possibility that OP is not depressed and just seeks like-minded company that is difficult to find. In that case, HN should have the knowledge to discuss a technical solution.
