People pursuing whatever tickles them is what gives our culture its vibrancy. Especially for things that don't hurt anyone, we should encourage such expeditions.

This is art and clever engineering mixed into one. I think it's one of the coolest things I've seen lately on HN. I wonder why you view something so harmless as so culturally damning.

This kind of thing is the learning exercise that sparks innovative ideas. I think you shouldn't dismiss them as useless dead-ends...

5 purely defensive statements and a flag-censor.

You guys aren't big on self-reflection.

Unless you're trolling, I don't understand what would be an acceptable response to you. We all spend some of our time in things that don't bring immediate returns to humanity, even you spent some time writing your quick dismissal and replying to me.

I didn't flag anyone, in fact I'll usually vouch for flagged content. But I'm curious what you think would be a non-defensive statement (and what does that even mean?). Also, some of the replies seemed genuinely curious at what makes you have this strong opinion and you refused to elaborate...

we are aesthetic creatures. what point is there in pushing humanity forward if there's no humanity left after the push

this work is incredible, and will open up new realms of artistry in interface design and beyond

Can you give me some examples of the things you devote hours to, day-to-day, that aren't tiny empty tickles?
