Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Choice quote:

Actually I feel violated.

It's a KYC interview, not a police interrogation. I've always enjoyed KYC interviews; I get to talk about my business plans, or what I'm going to do with my loan, or how I ended up buying/selling stocks. It's hard to empathize with somebody who feels "violated" by small talk.

Your position is also inconsistent. For example, coyotes have meat-based diets and are not capitalist; I think that coyotes also don't use cryptocurrency, although I have no evidence either way. Naturalistic appeals are usually fallacies since they involve special pleading for humans in an otherwise-natural holistic existence.

That said, I upvoted you for approaching the concept of obligate capitalism, the idea that the only choices presented to humans within a capitalist society are to own capital, labor, or starve. We should be less keen to criticize each other merely for choosing to live.

Can't hear you over carnist seathing. Take your internet points back in a futile display of pique
