I'll never understand people who think everyone should be like them. Humanity is about diversity, and I think that is worth celebrating. I'm perfectly happy being a private person blending into the background and only writing anonymous posts on HN.
- jauntywundrkind 3y agoTo me, the idea is much more like: everyone is unique & special & should be celebrated, everyone has their own amazing insight & views of the world, and we make society & the future better when we can share ourselves. It can be a psuedo-nym, that's fine, but not sharing yourself seems like a waste of a life. And I think it misses opportunity to refine yourself, to ask yourself what your views are. Writing creates thought, writing creates perspective, and doing at least a good bit of it openly to the world - even if no one today is reading - is so valuable.
