Have you talked to average people, out of the HN bubble? They are often too dumb to read at all, period.
- kstrauser 3y agoMiss me with that, dawg. We’re talking about people smart enough to be reading science content in the first place. Also, my dad was a mortician, and later an insurance salesman, and he’s perhaps the smartest person I’ve ever met. I promise you HN conversations are hardly the pinnacle of intelligent human discourse.
