There are an almost infinite number of places where we can discuss those fires. Some of those flagging want to not talk about the fires on HN. You are wrong to assume that that's them sticking their head in the sand.

That’s not true. Other platforms don’t have this exact audience and vibe. Flagging this effectively kills HNs collective perspective. It is what it is, hopefully mods can reflect on it.
Those other places don’t have frequent posts and thoughts from some of the most influential, intelligent and frankly powerful people in US tech.
These are precisely the people who need to be talking about the fires, how to prevent them, put them out and make sure as hell they don’t spread to other countries.
But no, making money in the AI bubble is more important than preserving democracy here.
