Please don't spread useless information.

The linked post is the useless info here. The dude randomly picked 3 words that come up in conversations sometimes and decided there’s an ancient widespread philosophy around them, then spouted it on his blog.

Japanese people are the kings of throwing perfectly good stuff away and replacing it. They build their houses to last 20ish years, and a lot of them buy EVERYTHING at the dollar store.

They have no right to spread information like that either. Rahul Chowdhury is the culprit here in all honesty. It seems though, you want to be witty and post a response that honestly seems against a certain culture, the 'American' culture. Let YC remove the link if it feels justified but you adding onto it makes it get more attention with the comments, doesn't it?

"Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent." - Ludwig Wittgenstein

Man, that is some next level "don't feed the trolls"

Alas, I am human and must therefore engage with any algorithms I come across..
