I often have to remind myself who hosts this board and that I am hanging out on a site for successful and aspiring techno-robber-barons.


Explaining that modern technology is user-hostile and destructive to the society is nowhere else more on-topic than Paul Graham’s ego blog. While it might be true to say the site is “for” robber barons, There are a lot more users here than the ones you described.

Complete with egotistical and ironic appropriation of the word hacker.
