Hehe I engage with people like that all the time and I think I’ve learned a lot. In my humble opinion the people who are easily offended aren’t really worth discussing difficult problems with. Actually I find that I learn a lot more from people who don’t get hung up when their ego happens to unintentionally get bruised.

What I'm calling out is that you may have fallen into the trap (as I did years back) that you need to be an asshole to drive towards solving hard problems. You don't, and it actually blocked me from creating the psychological safety necessary to get good ideas out of people who otherwise wouldn't feel comfortable speaking up. Genuinely good/supporting vibes from my direction to you - do with it what you will, but I do believe your ego is showing here more than mine. We can agree to disagree since I believe each of us will over-index on our past life experiences vs. those of some random person on Hacker News.

I think I get what you're saying, but honestly the way you're wording your points is a bit confusing. I am going to chalk this up to "I'm just too dumb" for sake of laziness at this point.
I don’t believe that you need to be an asshole to drive towards solving hard problems. Not in the least. That is your projection. Calling your point irrelevant is not a personal attack on you, it was intended to be a neutral objective statement. Smart people often make irrelevant points, in fact the smartest people often make the most irrelevant points when trying to drive at the truth. I don’t believe you are dumb but I do have reason to believe you can interpret a personal attack where there is none.
