Lately I often think about 3Blue1Brown, Veritasium and Kahn Academy, how much good they are doing to this world.
Imagine having close to an unlimited amount of money at your disposal and a media platform which is capable of reaching close to every person on this planet. To give people a voice in a community, if they dare to or if they feel the need to.
The only thing you then lack is a platform for organizing communities instead of sowing the seeds of hatred, to use the tools provided by people like Grant Sanderson, Derek Muller, Grady Hillhouse and others, in order to help communities to improve their communities, towns, cities, and so on. To help them solve their problems, make them understand how problematic corruption, greed and abuse of power is.
While I was born in Germany, I lived for around 20 years in Peru, since I was a child. People are poor, but very kind hearted, politicians and the wealthy are corrupt.
This is what makes me feel so sad about Elon Musk, specially knowing that he grew up in South Africa.
- poszlem 2y agoI don't understand the Musk comment at the end. Can you please explain what you mean by that and what is the significance of him growing up in South Africa?

- the_gorilla 2y agoI'm going to find out a way to automatically hide comments referencing "musk". You can't even read about a 3Blue1Brown video without people somehow making it about him. Every thread, every day, it's just people talking about Elon Musk.
- johnnyanmac 2y agowe have a HN API, so it's pretty straightforward once you understand it to make an extension/add-on. The hard part from there is design decisions. Do you just have that comment disappear, or fade like a downvoted comment? if it disappears do you remove the entire thread? is a contextless match adequate? (say, someone was talking about deoderant?)
