Probably 90% of the most inspiring, uplifting comments I've read on HN have been those written by dang. Many times I've just sat there and marvelled at them. I not long ago recommended a non-HN friend getting involved in community organisations/meetings/leadership read his comments, to marvel at his patience, wisdom, communication skills, calmness, generosity, openness..and many other virtues.
It seems more usual in the real world that the government/manager/leader etc of a country seem among the worst people for the job. Or at least that a random choice of leader would mostly be better!
