On: Seth's Blog: Gravity is just a theory

[PStamatiou]

I might be going on a limb here but do we really need to have every single Seth Godin post on Hacker News? Every few days there's a new one that somehow reaches the top, doesn't offer much value and even has significant issues (like this one).. I didn't really think this comment through but I know I have become slightly annoyed with his posts flooding HN as of late.

Totally agree. Most of his posts are useless. His total lack of physics knowledge aside, most of his stuff doesn't even tell me how to market better.

His posts are, however, often insightful and usually feature a fresh observation.

While these rarely give you step 1 - do this, step 2 - do that type advice, enough insights, when compiled together, can help you come up with ideas and inspire insights of your own.

I thought it was posted so we could make fun of his scientific ignorance? Did the poster really think this was a good metaphor?

(I'm not saying the marketing advice he gives is bad. In fact, I couldn't even get past his nonsense at the top of the article)
