HN submissions are supposed to "gratif[y] one's intellectual curiosity".
- coldtea 13y agoIf your "intellectual curiosity" can stand idle when black people are denied access to jobs and opportunies, then it's not worth much in the first place. I'd go as far as to call it dead. "Intellectual curiosity" is not IDLE curiosity. It either is curiosity about building and changing things (including society) or it's no better than stamp collecting.

Those things are not what the Hacker News frontpage is for. Intellectual curiosity does require something to be either novel material, or presented in a novel way; this is neither.
