Thoes downvotes, I guess it really is bad to express an opinion counter to the mob on HN.

Do you feel that the people wearing blue coats also have the same set of issues?

And to anyone downvoting him, got a source for the counterpoint? I've been looking for a right leaning intellectual voice for years. I haven't been able to find any that don't use obviously fallicious arguments or ignore important contexts of reality.

Pretty sure in that episode I linked it was put forth that everybody pretty much just swallows what they're fed by the people they've chosen to trust, both left and right, so yeah. The difference is the the left has largely chosen to trust science and academia and the right has chosen to demonize both of those institutions.
