Weird that the story you linked disappeared, and I definitely would expect that post to stay around as you mentioned. I have noticed a lot of aggressive flagging of political stories, which is frustrating given that the political landscape right now is extremely volatile and has big implications for everyone and everything. All the typical tech stuff is less interesting at this time.

As for YCombinator - not sure about them specifically but lots of tech billionaires are for invading Greenland or at least coercing them. Joe Lonsdale (Palantir co founder) recently said in an interview that he views it as frontier land (rather than someone else’s sovereign state). Probably the rare earth minerals would help investors involved in chips or AI.

Proof that you don't need wisdom to be a billionaire - the rich would benefit much more from stable societies and stable global order, rather than willingly rolling the world into an era of chaos.

Covid and Trump pretty much showed that this is not true. Chaos helps the rich more than stability (what we had before)

Lockdown rather than Covid. Covid was supposedly around for six months (or more) before all that began.
