Welcome to hacker News! Yes, we find ignorance funny. I think people adding fuel to the fire are the ones freaking out about aliens or Iranian mother ships. Pointing out that the this is a hysteria event is more akin to pouring water on the flames.
- meaydinli 2y agoNo, it is not "Hacker News" to paint a large swath of people as "ignorant". The proper way would have been to publish a detailed, technical analysis and present your ideas along with your proof to the greater community and facilitate a discussion.

- stavros 2y agoI like your optimism. Personally, I have found that, if someone freaks out about "alien drones", trying to facilitate a discussion is almost futile.
- pjc50 2y agoLarge swathes of people are ignorant, though. It's just that now they can demonstrate that loudly on social media.
- lioeters 2y agoI want to live in this world, where we're all part of a larger collective endeavor to discover the truth, to be more informed, learn continuously, and evolve together. That's the old-school philosophy and mission of science for the betterment of humanity.
