I don't understand this obsession with how this site works. You shouldn't be worrying about karma or why things are made [dead]. Just contribute the most interesting stuff and things will take care of themselves naturally.

I thought that sounded reasonable until I considered "You shouldn't be worrying about X or why Y. Just contribute Z and things will take care of themselves naturally". I agree with the X and Z parts for some values, but think I disagree with the Y part outright. Always question why!
