I wish HN would let you block users, so I wouldn't have to read the same micheleochurch tripe in every article.

Taking a lead from another current thread [0]: on what basis is this tripe? I find micheleochurch's comments always thought-provoking; not always grounded in the world I see, but that's not what I look for in a good comment. I want to be provoked to think.

To be honest, I actually find value in clearly written content that I consistently disagree with. It allows me to pause and consider different angles of perception especially when it comes to SV, in this case.

I think the alternative, being surrounded by a bubble of things that I agree with, is far more dangerous (though understandably more pleasurable of an experience).
