Maybe people on this forum aren't as open-minded as they'd like to think.

What does open-mindedness have to do with a vague statement about biology without going into said actual biology?

We're open minded enough, just bring up some actual arguments and facts to support them.

I think it's exactly that. Hackernews is just another filter bubble and a haven for a particular personality type.

These perceptions are in the eye of the beholder. Multiply that 10x when it's about "who downvoted me", since there's literally no information then, just a blank screen to project on.

It's

"I'm super progressive"

Until
