Even if you don't agree with her views, I don't see the point of this portrayal. At best, this is a misguided comic, at worst, it's an ad hominem attack (poorly) designed to discredit her philosophy.

I'm a bit confused. Why is this on Hacker News?

I will give you my reason to upvote the article: i value food for thought submissions more than the latest electronic gadget / somebody's opinion about a js framework.

I totally get that the comic (which I sat and read the entire thing) was a worthwhile read. But I suppose I just come here for Hacker News. I don't want it to become a catch all for anything I might find interesting. But, I appreciate you sharing your opinion, so thanks.

If you consider yourself a "good hacker", then "anything [you] might find interesting" is exactly what the guidelines say is on-topic:

On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.
