"...whether the site’s original tech-intellectual culture can be responsibly scaled up to make space for a more inclusive, wider-ranging vision of technology."

I don't come to Hacker News for "inclusive" technology - which these days appear to be a politically-correct euphemism for forced diversity.

I come to Hacker News for discussions on technology.

Anything that prioritizes the "inclusive" nature of technology, versus the "technology" itself, is irrelevant to me, and has nothing to do with the main interests of the site (hacking and technology) and should be downvoted. Keep politics and social politics out from Hacker News.

I was going to make a comment similar to this one, but you saved me the time. The fact that this site is not trying to be part of the otherwise global phenomena of politically-correct forced diversity is one of the thing which makes it good.

The funny thing about the way people use "politically correct" nowadays is that what you are saying is that the view "diversity is good" is not a correct one to espouse within your political tribe. That is, what you're saying is that it's not politically correct to have "politically correct" views. And nobody who espouses what you call "politically correct" views ever uses the term "politically correct". They just say what their actual views are.
