upvoted.. not because I agree, but because dissent has to be tolerated in a civil society.

I would like to see more discussion on HN around topics that seem unpopular here, and are perhaps politically divisive .. such as : economic inequality, climate change, demographic crunch

Somewhere between the prevailing economic malaise, cynicism and despair ... and tech-bro fan-boi greedy optimism : there might be a middle way where we can use the new technologies of AI to actually improve our lives and create wide wealth generation, and more prosperity for the middle class.

I am firm believer in the right to free speech and the importance of expressing ideas that are contrary to the general cultural attitude.

That’s why I turn on the Show Dead setting on HN, and I love that HN has that feature.
