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.

Thank you, that's very interesting. To be clear I am not pro-malaria, but sometimes groups are against bad things for weird reasons. Like Scientologists campaigning against abusive psychiatric practices because L. Ron Hubbard was mad at psychologists for not taking him seriously.
The defensiveness that people have learned to write online with is truly a tragic marker of our times. It didn't even cross my mind you would be pro-malaria.
I'm sure there's someone out there!
I will admit I was imagining a grumbling LessWronger reading this and going "oh, so it's wrong to care about malaria?!?!" I probably need to take some time off social media.
