While I believe the comment was a joke it is also a reference to people who make emotional decisions over objective ones. I also think that many people don't realize just how many humans prefer to make important decisions emotionally. It's not something you generally learn sitting at a desk.

Every single human in the planet makes decisions emotionally - the hacker news crowd is not excluded from this in the slightest. I would also gamble that the vast majority of our day-to-day decisions are emotional, unless you live a purely utilitarian life. And that would suck.

It's solvable though. The GTI version of the Ford eThing could come with flappy paddles, a manual 6 speed lever, and Porsche approved engine and gearchange noises. None of which do anything but effect.

Microtransactions for flat crank v8s, and v12s perhaps?
