I agree about HN being technically literate. I have non-technical friends that definitely care about privacy, their rights, maintaining a healthy economy, freedom in general. Then I have friends that don't really pay attention to that. I'm saying don't lump people into a single silly generalization. Edit: I think that, given that us HNers often self-identify as tech priests, advocacy and education should follow naturally from that.
