Beware of incendiary grenades.
Every time this post pops up on HN, I can't but think: there is nothing intellectually stimulating about the discussions it provokes.
There are always the trolls who in one way or another are just propagating the american culture wars with all the troll vigor aimed at ruining the day of everybody else. In fact, the post is ideally position to do so, because it makes a controversial statement in an indirect way, does not examine it in dept, and leave everybody else to squabble in the comments.
Every, single, time.
The best policy here might be to just flag, hide, and never open the comments section.
- orbisvicis 3y agoThe systems-level analysis is fascinating. Why doesn't someone rewrite it to use less controversial terminology? Or err... would that would be comparible to a fig-leaf campaign? Honestly what this needs is a more rigorous analysis. Such as a proof of maximum possible diversity given starting conditions and rules of movement. However you'd probably prefer an analysis from socialogical standpoint, some ammo to discourage the more licentious posts.
- Reubend 3y agoOn the contrary, clearly there's some intellectually stimulating comments here. I just spent some time reading posts that argued with each other, deeply considering the points that each made. Can you expand on what you mean by the American culture wars?
