Show HN: Mental State of HN Users Before/After Lockdown

Let me fix that : In short, HN readers were already living in the future pre quarantine. Basically applying one of PG maxims in "How to Get Startup Ideas"[0]: "Live in the future, then build what's missing."

I am genuinely curious of what triggered the downvote. It makes me feel as if I didn't express myself correctly. If anyone has an idea ?

Thanks for your reply ! Well, I found your comment extremely relevant, and delivered in a very succint (albeit tongue in cheek ) way.

A greater share of the HN readership was already having a quarantine friendly work/lifestyle, than the general population. Due to underlying macro-trends (technology, mobile consumer internet, entrepreneurship...).

And one of these macro-trends, the fragility of our hyper-reactive interconnected world, was illuminated by the covid crisis. I will try to reach you on twitter, to not pollute this thread further.
