Oh we will, I have no doubts about that. If we are still here in any significant numbers 100 years from now it will be a miracle. Religious zealotry towards prophets and/or profits means climate change gets ignored.

Stop. There are no "HN people". There are people who post to HN, but the opinions are for the most part surprisingly varied. You are shooting yourself in the foot by making over-generalized comments like this.

Because they are mean and evil. Their irrationality comes from the zealous belief that anything conservative must be defended to the death, and without compromise. At the end of the day, though, the "why" of their cruelty is not a

That may have been their stated objection, but the broader pattern belies this. The broader pattern is "make life as difficult for the poor, middle class, and the minorities as possible."
