I see your point. I don't know the answer but I am wary of group-thinking ourselves into cranky single mindedness.

But reddit, digg, and HN are all sources of group-think, not really diversity.

Of the 3, HN is the only one that really welcome true contrariness SOMETIMES, but I've still been downmodded for pointing out biases and groupthink here.

And I'm not even an asshole about it.

They always crucify the heretics. It's an group instinct that thwarts leadership and completely counter to the theoretical intention of HN. This should be a tribe of heretics.
