It's easier to judge small tribes as being backwards than to look at ourselves and see the backwardness, and that we're really not any different.

Just how on Earth have you inferred this statement from the OP or from the parent's comment? Have you read either?

The HN guidelines [0] are actually a remarkably good set of principles for online discussion of challenging topics.

> Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something ... Please don't insinuate that someone hasn't read an article "Did you even read the article? It mentions that" can be shortened to "The article mentions that.” ... Comments should get more civil and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.

The standard of care each of us puts into each of our own responses is what makes HN-quality conversations possible or impossible.
