Is this the Louis Rossmann effect on HN?

I don't think you understand that Louis Rossmann's job and attitude used to be the norm. Owning and repairing things are core to industrial living, but modern economic forces want to make you think that its about licensing and disposability.

Ownership and agency are part of liberty, renting and dependence is not.

This is first principles thinking, people cringe at the descriptor but I really appreciate you simplifying your argument.

My comment was more about the influence of Louis on media in general (in this case HN) and less of a critique of the topic in question.

Why are you strawmaning?

The fact that I made this comment the same day he released his video in fact means I actively follow him and his mission.
