We live in a society that worships wealth because it uses wealth as its sole metric for basically everything. Intelligence, success, worthiness, importance, etc. Those on HN are, if anything, more prone to this than elsewhere because of the original startup culture orientation. I will not be surprised if a significant portion of HNer's start cargo-culting by learning French.
