Article note: HN obviously killed the thread, but the link made it to RSS. It's an interesting piece, if only because it makes clear via quotes than Andresson not only believes that causes outside of pure avarice are essentially fake prestige games/appeasement behavior/penance for necessary harm caused by the important work of technocratic wealth accumulation... he believes _everyone else_ thought that too, and he's mad that people are behaving as though social causes are real in ways that interfere with grifting.
The fact that we're in this situation largely because a bunch of prominent valleybros aligned with the anti-intellectuals with whom they have mutual contempt, because _the other party wanted to regulate their scams_ and avoiding that was the most important thing to them continues to horrify me.
