What a boring comment. Unfortunately, this comment reveals more about you as a person than it does about Ray Dalio for putting out that article. Too bad writing pessimistic comments about others on HN doesn't earn you any money, otherwise you could have made some too!

I'd love it if your comment could raise the same point as you did, but also include examples of the poor sentences and how it could be better. Then at least we could have learned something. Instead you went for the shallow dismissal. Boring.

The fact that you chose to comment on a "negative comment" simply by stating that it is "boring" and "pessimistic" is pretty funny.
I understand and appreciate the irony for sure :) I have a small tick that I cannot downvote someone on HN without explaining why, even though the author won't actually know I was the one downvoting. But downvoting without explaining why, feels wasteful. At least now I get to explain why I feel that comment doesn't live up to the HN standard.
