They are pursuing their passions and setting any goal they want. I don't get why so many people in this thread are dismissive of different views.

This isn't the part that people miss when they stop working. You can at least try to argue in good faith.

It's probably because the title is a command: "Never Retire." Nah, I think I will, thanks.

The edited HN title is a command, not the original title of the article.

Fair enough, but I think that choice is framing the discussion here.

The actual title is "Why you should never retire" which frames it as a suggestion not an imperative.
