Sometimes an article and the upvoting thereof express HN's insecurities so well it makes me wonder if every single post is in someway tainted by similar psychological issues.
I think it's an important thing to recognise especially in the worst case when some people exploit this to convincingly present opinion as fact... anyway i'm way off topic, my point was in response to wufufufu: I don't wonder if posts on HN have some kind of psychological biases, I am confident they do, in spite of perceived objectivity.
(If you can manage it safely, it's not a bad thing to consider. But it really easily turns into a cognitive hammer big enough to beat any fact into submission to your prior beliefs, and seals you off from intellectual discourse.)
