Wow, this feels so surreal -- I thought the article was satirical at first, and now here it's changing people's lives.

Anyway, I'll keep this short:

1) It's your life.

2) Taking risks is wonderful. So is breaking rules, particularly the invisible ones, like social norms.

3) Nevertheless, taking up smoking because you read a bad article about the habits of highly creative people written by somebody who clearly isn't highly creative is fucking retarded.




I believe you failed to sense the sarcasm in that post. Get real.


Why did you have to write "Get real"? That's just mean.


Damn! I knew I should've trusted my surreality radar.

In my defense, posts like the parent's -- except earnest -- aren't uncommon on HN.
