Fortunately this mindset is limited to a vanishingly small number of rootless young men who are lost in the scam of "hustle culture" - they are overrepresented on HN, but they are also mostly alone and childless, so unlikely to pass the mindset to the next generation
- AlexeyBelov 2y agoWhat a weird thing to say. It sounds so passive, like you don't want to have a conversation at all and only make a meta-level comment about other people. And the comment you're making is pretty mean, let's be honest. Do you think you could in theory have a discussion around this subject in a more mentally healthy way?
- safety1st 2y agoI mean, no, probably not. Because the person I replied to was pointing out that there are people who want to completely abandon the ritual of eating meals, which happens to be one of the primary ways the human race has socialized for thousands of years. So if any of those weirdos want to, you know, eat a meal, then sure we could have that discussion over one, but this brings us to the second part of my comment, which is that the number of people who are lunatic enough to think that abandoning the eating of meals is a good idea, is vanishingly small. I've never met one in person. The human race eats meals. The idea that you would optimize meals out of your life is more or less the province of like five antisocial, terminally online dudes. If these five guys decide to withdraw from society, be pariahs and wear hair shirts and all that well it's a free country but don't count me in
