On: “Corn-Pone Opinions” by Mark Twain (1901)

Here's what I have to say about that: That's pretty rich, coming from you, Paul Graham.

You have All The Money, and All The Respect amongst your large and powerful peer group. Given your considerable wealth, there's nothing anybody can do to negatively impact your life in any meaningful way. Yet you continue to bang the same drum you've been banging for a decade now, at least.

Time to tell us something we don't already know.

It's generally a bad idea to assume that people whom you envy have no problems; it's just another form of dehumanization of the other.

This was posted a decade ago. Someone just decided to submit it to HN now.

Paul Graham didn't write it.
