- petercooper 17y agoLuckily, most of the posts on Hacker News that I find interesting don't lend themselves to biases (i.e. the non political or evangelical posts). With the more political or evanglical posts, though, I think the human mind is wired to defend its initial opinion for a certain amount of time no matter what it reads ;-)
