I could more readily agree with what you're saying if a great resource like Hacker News didn't consistently get high-ranked items with headlines like "10 Ways To Get Motivated To Change The World By Starting A Startup"

For what it's worth: the CraigsList poster is light years ahead of midwestern Union workers are with their compulsions to invest in Quixtar and 'systems' from Carleton Sheets.

But really, who is to judge? I think it's cool that this person is, at the very least, pretending to try.

I think it's cool too. And I'd give them encouragement. And I'd try to resist the urge to pat them on the head.

But as for why it's getting voted up, that's my assessment.

Honestly, I really dislike the self-consciously self-focused articles we've been getting like our "10 Ways to Get Motivated..." articles. It's so... contentless. I come here for "Hacker News," not "'Hacker News,' News."
