People are curious when someone like Steve Jobs dies. This is something that will never happen to you when your time comes.


I didn't see anything intellectually interesting in Larry Page, Sergey Brin, etc. posts about SJ death. Maybe I'm blind... Oh, and please avoid ad personam arguments, they are useless.


No you're not blind. you're something else.


I'm stupid, that's what you think, right? So after creating a massive unisson over a dead body, we start insulting those who don't sing as loud as the others. In other thread they are asked to leave.

You show by the example that my concerns are grounded.


cold? clinical? inappropriate? Hey even intellectuals can grieve sometimes.


Well, I would not complain on a celebrity forum that the mourning of the next star fill up the home pages, this would be inappropriate. But in hacker news, I thought we would be more immune to these usually harmless and temporary but sometime dangerous loss of reason.


I don't think you're stupid.
