Also known as 'blind spots the socially well-adjusted and naive should be aware of'. Unfortunately, no ways to recognize whether you are suffering from one of these blind spots. It's easy to brush it off as 'yeah, I know folks that have this problem'

Blind spots are hard to see and probably that's why they are called "blind" spots. I have found time and again that discussions with my mentors brings forth some blind spots to the forefront. Mentors have an uncanny ability to notice things that we should be noticing. They may not have all the answers but the probing questions they ask can make us aware of at least some of the blind spots.

My $.02 of course.

Has hacker news turned into cosmopolitan? This really didn't say much, and said nothing actionable. Might as well been a list of 'people you meet at the office party'

The goal of the article was to raise awareness of some blind spots that smart people face. Just being aware of them is already a good first step. Hacker News is a place where so many smart people hang out and I thought people here will relate to one or more items in the list.
