Oh yeah! If they last visited the site six years ago.

In reality the contrarianism also leads to pushback against “libertarian economics blogs, “The Tim Ferriss Show,” and the work of Yuval Noah Harari”, as well as the “hyperrational” style of argumentation, as well as the dullard technologists who don’t want to deal with “politics”.

You will for sure regularly roll your eyes if you dislike the stereotypical HN comments. But you will also see all of them get a healthy amount of pushback.

Topics are seldom an echo-chamber or a display of dueling Markov bots. Not any more.

damn straight! I come here to help deliver such pushback. because otherwise all the budding Sam Altmans here are going to plow through completely unaware that they might not be fully correct at all times or someone might disagree with them. Just like it was eye opening to see Star Trek episodes that revealed some people actually weren't cool with starfleet. "What? someone doesn't like crypto? someone doesn't like AI? mongodb isn't web scale?" all the same riff

I appreciate it. HN used to be—how you say?—way to mono-opinion.
