Could you point to some online references of what you are suggesting ? Otherwise you are also guilty of problematizing the subject without offering answers or theories :).

I hope you're capable of doing a modicum of your own research. It wouldn't be hard to find a thread and pull on it.
Of course I could "do my own research" but that wouldn't give my any insights on your outlook.

Wtf, is this what passes for conversation this week-end on HN ? "Do your own research" as if it's an answer and a opinion ? What's next ? "Google a counter-argument" ?

"Do your own research" is generally the correct response to someone trolling. (Asking for "some online references" is a classic troll.)

If you're actually a serious person, it's your lucky day. I enjoy a good conversation and will reply to this thread as long as you're interested. If not, well, that's what passes for conversation on HN any old week.

But if you are actually serious then you'll have to be a little more specific in your request: "Could you point to some online references of what you are suggesting?"

Btw, I wouldn't consider calling something garbage as being the same as "problematizing" in the way that word is typically used. More the opposite. My purpose is to warn well-meaning but naive or gullible people off this crap before they waste too much time (or worse). It's a trap.

Let's do this.
