Some of the best responses to this article are on Quora: https://www.quora.com/What-does-Silicon-Valley-think-of-the-NY-Times-article-Silicon-Valleys-Youth-Problem https://www.quora.com/What-does-Silicon-Valley-think-of-the-... I really hope you can see past the fact there is a login requirement. There is a lot of really great content on Quora.

...and it requires you to put up with their needless shit to get it. That Google hasn't de-listed them (and everyone else using what is nothing more than cloaking) is a real shame.

I must say I chuckled when I read the top Quora comment. Its author clearly doesn't understand the genre this piece is written in, namely cultural criticism. He says: > Too many paragraphs seem this way: like she had a point she wanted to make and then she tossed in a few questionable observations without thinking much of the logical relationships among them, the facts behind them, whether her idea was really supported by the phenomena she's describing. Cultural criticism isn't meant to be a definitive, empirical description of reality. It is offered as food for thought, one additional point of view that may help you look at things differently and maybe see some things in a different light. One of course can, and should, critique such a text on the basis of contradicting all evidence, but expecting complete coherence is completely misunderstanding the purpose of the text.

It is against HN guidelines for me to assume that you are spamming HN to get more user from that site, but at least include the no bullshit link: https://www.quora.com/What-does-Silicon-Valley-think-of-the-NY-Times-article-Silicon-Valleys-Youth-Problem?share=1 https://www.quora.com/What-does-Silicon-Valley-think-of-the-...
