You forgot to mention that the meditations has probably been posted several times on HN this century; it's not new to anyone (not even news), and it should really have [0167] in the title to make this clear, so that you can skip it because it's not up to the minute technology ephemera. Should I post a fucking copy of Walden next week? Sure, why not, Walden is also a great book and foundational text and raises questions about the relationship of the state to its citizens which are increasingly appropriate for people working in the global online community to consider. It's also a great read. Compared to the content of most of the links on HN, both Walden and the Meditations have more insightful commentary, and more generally applicable lessons, than most of the websites posted on here will produce over their entire lifetime.
