Yeah. A lot of smart folks on HN, but also a lot of naive sheltered upper-class youngsters who have never even seen genuine adversity or human suffering. This elite naivete blew me away when I spent years in the rough orbit of the Ivy League. They're not bad people... they just really genuinely have no idea. They have no frame of reference for the difficulty of growing up poor in the American interior, let alone for the difficulties faced by people in the third world or in dictatorships-of-GDP like China.
