Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

How nice it must be to never ponder how large humanity is, and how each and every person you see outside has a full and rich interior and exterior world, and you that only see a tiny fraction of the people outside.

I don't think that's nice. That sounds extremely bleak and depressive, not to mention downright sociopathic.

I wouldn't swap it for the world ^^, but maybe a tad fewer existantial crises would be nice (no monkey-paw curls plz)

To respond to this part:

How about people here? When did you realize people are real?

I just have this basic human feeling of appreciation whenever someone close goes out of their way to do something nice for me. It's always this reminder of hey, I exist in other peoples' lives as well, isn't that cool!
