I don't know how you intended for your comment to sound, but on my side it looks like that you demand from me to explain myself.
Ignoring that, the article is yet another window in to the past. You can enjoy it as an informational piece. Or if you want to apply some of its lessons to the present day, you can compare it with some of the contemporary attempts at building decentralized organizations. If none of these options appeal to you nor any other, just skip it, HN is not lacking on other content.
I asked because I read it earlier and I'm actually curious what other people liked about it. Maybe I missed something? Someone shared it and other people upvoted it.
As I said, it was just perception and I tried not to act on it, assuming that it is not malicious. Whatever, got the downvotes, but hopefully communicated what was interesting for me as well.
