Disagreement is not "blatant gaslighting", and ignoring people who disagree with you only harms your understanding of the world.

It's just so upsetting to me the extent to which the HN community has charged down this meme-driven, anti-rationalist path. Everything that doesn't feel right is suddenly the word of an enemy to commenters here. And we used to be so sure of our fact-based world views!
