Do you think that might be why big tech is ruining the world, and do you see yourself as a contributor to that?

I think it's good to have a place on the internet that's dedicated to intellectual curiosity. Don't you? If that ends up not being possible because it burns with political flames, to me that would be part of ruining the world. (A small part. I don't think HN is important in the grand scheme of things.) There are other places to fight grand battles—most other places, in fact.

HN isn't particularly correlated with big tech. It's a place for people to congregate and share and talk about what they find interesting.
