I can't run a biotech lab in my basement and I'm not interested in looking for funding so I have to run someone else's company.

So no, I don't feel guilty for anything. And despite the general feeling, not everyone in here is trying to build the next Facebook. We're just ordinary guys trying to make a (comfortable) living.

Last but not least, you make it sound like a smartass hacker could discover the cure for cancer or Alzheimer. It's not that easy. If pharmaceutical companies with decades of considerable funding and teams of hundreds of highly specialized scientists haven't figured it out what makes you think that we could? We're smart, sure, but not that smart.

I've seen several comments of this ilk today nitpicking the comments of other people on the detail of gendered language. I find them super tiresome and my feeling is they are probably counterproductive. Unless, you know, your real goal is to aggravate everyone and alienate them such that people start wishing women would just go back to being barefoot and pregnant.

"I wasn't racist until you made me racist by calling me a racist," says every trump supporter, and also it's total fiction.
