… is this really an issue?
I speculate you’ve taken something you don’t want to see personally and dressed it up as “the problem” when you could instead just find a way to be okay with it.
But maybe there’s something genuinely problematic with that behavior which I don’t know about.
- ssklash 2y agoIf you've spent any amount on HN reading physics posts, you will see it is absolutely an issue.

- kelnos 2y agoYes, it's an issue. I come here as a layperson who is interested in the universe; it's exhausting to read plausible-sounding but completely meritless theories brought up by people here with little more training than I have, and try to decide if these ideas are actually useful, or are just uninformed things some rando thought up in five minutes after reading a pop-sci cosmology book. I'd much rather hear plausible theories made by people who actually know what they're talking about.
