Comments such as these display such a lack of empathy but yet they seem extremely prevalent on HN. What is it about some of the people who make up this community that makes them think life is as easy as simply choosing a better alternative to the current state?

It’s like telling a depressed person to just stop being sad. Life doesn’t work like that.

Certain people can’t imagine what it’s like to really need a job because they’ve never experienced it or known anyone who has. Its privilege mixed with very narrow life experiences and social circles.

Tech people in my experience are highly susceptible to survivorship bias combined with a level of delusional Randian optimism to gird themselves against the truth that they are pawns in a sadistic machine.

tl;dr ~30% of people are mean-spirited, 20% are win-win types, 20% are risk minimizers, 15% are marks and the other 15% are confused.
