I think you should still consider and perhaps respond to the point instead of just discounting it because its out of place.
If your point is the much broader contention that capitalism is lame and evil and retarded in general, that's a little beyond the scope of what can be resolved on HN.
Every once in a while there's something important that I get from HN, which is why I've kept coming back since starting to get better. Some time ago I decided it really wasn't worth it, and I haven't yet quit because I'm just on auto-pilot and come here when I'm bored. I'll get around to quitting soon though. Thanks for the reminder.
dont do it, i think is healthy to any community to have people with different perspectives..
also i dont consider HN a reddit for startups.. once in a while there are something about it.. (thanks god) but are not the majority view, unlike the previous post may picture
startup culture its way off its limits.. and some people should get back to sanity again..
the only people making something with this hyped culture are VC´s buying and selling things that dont even have a good business model just for the sake of its own profit..
but this look like a US zombie virus, that every 20 years start to happen all over again.. until the bubbles explode markets blows up.. and really hard working people have to pay for all the damage this greedy people creates..
sometimes i fell just like you..
Did you perchance take a wrong turn on the interweb tubes, and arrive at this website by mistake?
You are right, though; nothing proprietary and costly is ever going to 'change the world' of something so basic as reading and writing...
