HN discussionSwing and a miss with this article. I wrote a full response at http://cryoshon.co/2016/01/02/a-response-to-paul-grahams-art... . I've abridged some of my comments/quotations for this comment. Let's break it down bit by bit: FTA: "I'm interested in the topic because I am a manufacturer of economic inequality." Well, not quite.

HN discussionBetween this essay and the one I saw on HN over the weekend [1], I feel PG really got this essay wrong. Both response essays have really compelling points, and even as I read PG's original, I felt like he was catastrophizing. Something that none of the above mention is that, as "job eliminators," we need to start considering how to keep the people who have no chance at a job can continue to live reasonable lives. Ca…
