> It’s nerdy fun, but it has a serious point, too. As…Stewart Brand points out: the present moment used to be the unimaginable future.

If you object to "odd pretensions", what the hell are you doing posting on a site called "Hacker News"? Take that conformist bullshit back to someplace it's welcome, like high school or prison. Leave us hackers alone and spare us your worthless lowbrow dismissals.

Your comment has literally no content other than to disparage me for doing something unusual, purely because it's unusual. (A contradiction without an argument doesn't count as content.) That kind of thing should absolutely not be tolerated on Hacker News.
