internet has made us soft in a sense, most people on HN judging by comments, think very narrow set of things are important - money at job, leetcode, status, politics, grievances. but actually collective action to avert disaster and genocide are the most important things.

I think war is the immediate future, and HN folks will have no way to cope. everyone should be doing science, lobbying congress for a carbon tax, forced urbanization.

individualism fueled by social media has a lot of people on here who think NIMBYs and WOKE are the only real threats
