I think you are greatly exaggerating the capability and means of the average HN visitor, submitter, and commenter.

That said, I think people, generally, are unable to work non-stop, 24/7 on just the important problems.

Commenting on some trivial shit here doesn't mean you don't give a fuck about the problems of the world, or that you're not working on them.

Please, tell me more about all the ways in which you are helping to save the world from its most pressing problems.

Your outrage rings pretty hollow as you are on Hacker News spending your time complaining rather than doing something about all the problems in the world.

I am doing something. I am raising awareness. Isn't this the national sport in fighting the world problems?!
