Don't have much skin in this argument, but this would convince absolutely nobody not already aligned with those beliefs. . .which was GP's point in the first place.


> Don't have much skin in this argument

Do you expect to live another 20+ years? Do you have children or young people you care about? If so, I think you have plenty of skin in the game.


Let me rephrase. I don't have much skin in erubin and oldandtired's particular talking points on this post in HN. Happy?


Yeah, I didn't really understand this comment. Every living human has a skin in this argument.


A young resident of coastal Bangladesh has a whole lot more skin in the game than a 60-year-old millionaire in Colorado.


Nearly everyone has family or friends they care about. But point taken.
