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.

would I happier if I abandoned my scruples? I hope I or nobody I know finds out.

For some definition of "happiness", yes. It's increasingly clear that the only way to get ahead is with some level of scam. In fact, I'm pretty sure Millennials will not be able to retire to a reasonable level of comfort without accepting some amount of unethical behavior to get there. Not necessarily Slipp'n Jimmy levels of scam, but just stuff like participating in a basic stock market investment with a tax advantaged account.

So, basically, there’s no ethical existence in our society? That’s starting to sound like soviet talk. Ronnie Reagan will be hearing about this.
