Maybe there should be a moratorium on non-technical stories.

There are many more socio-political interest stories on HN than there used to and the rhetoric in the comments sections tends to be poor.

surely articles such as this are of value in challenging and expanding the perspective of the average american HN reader? after all, good entrepreneurs are well-rounded. and as this article (and the comments) makes it clear, the software industry in the US is something of a bubble, insulated from the troubling problems of contemporary american society. problems american entrepreneurs ignore at their own long-term risk.

as for the level of rhetoric in this comment section, I think it is high, and contains many interesting points to consider.
