>I’m glad people persevered so we aren’t covering our pizzas with mayonnaise. This throw-away metaphor was so stomach turning I found it hard to continue. But I did, and I found the article mostly harmless. But also pointless. In fact, I think the OP's greatest contribution is to provide yet another piece of evidence that people are obsessed with ideas, strange or otherwise. In fact, this obsession is so prevalent (especially on HN) that we don't even question it. That, in my opinion, is the more interesting topic. Why are ideas valued in some cultures more than others? (For example, they may not be valued as much in Japan; see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFER3QCAboc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFER3QCAboc)
