I'm surprised with how most of the people that felt worse after the conversation seem to be paired with someone that felt better after the same conversation. I would expect any negative feelings to be reciprocal so I wonder what happened in these interactions...

it's so refreshing to see this kind of content in HN :*)

I see a lot of people complaining about the scrolling thing but I don't get why, can someone explain?

Don't scroll too fast, the cards with texts won't show if you do and then you'll miss it

Such a minor thing but I absolutely love the way the faces / avatars are rendered here. Just characters in a PRE tag. Gives me Commodore 64 vibes. I'd love to know how they came up with those and put it all together.

This has been one of the best things I've read in a while. I hope it is real :)

There have been a few of these types of website designs on science/popular science topics, while very cool at first then the novelty fades - I wish they just get to the point.

I can't read it like this. It's just too much work.

For those interested in the subject, recommend the book The Power of Strangers by Joe Keohane that covers this with further depth. Worth reading!

To me, talking to strangers is like not flexing that judgment muscle we keep on, while also gaining different perspectives and learning.
