I'd argue that HN is practically the only place in the whole world one can just walk in to and get serious, current, and actionable information on real-world social ladder-climbing.

Nobody here believes you should "know your place", but the more you learn about the world and business, the more you see just how hard this shit really is.

The downvotes aren't out of classism, but because your posts are not constructive to the discussion. They articulate a philosophical viewpoint and offer no real information of the sort I described earlier.

HN is not your soapbox.




Social ladder climbing is mostly just morally difficult.


Oh no, the peasants found a soapbox! Good thing there's downvotes, that'll shut them up.


Please stop posting unsubstantive comments to HN. Snark is deprecated as well.
