The Lonely Work of Moderating Hacker News
Discussion in todays world is highly over rated.<p>There are people who build hospitals and there are people who stand around talking about who should build hospitals.<p>The former group in any population in any country is very small. The latter group is very large and thanks to the current architecture of the internet have gotten so over amplified that they think they actually matter.<p>Their resumes don&#x27;t have any actual achievement beyond drawing attention to things. They don&#x27;t matter. People who are driven to build hospitals will keep building hospitals irrespective of all the &quot;discussions&quot; going on.
