I really feel like this is off-topic.

I think promoting intelligence and learning is something highly relevant to hackers.

What topic is that?

The official guidelines of what dictates on/off topic: http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

I guess one could argue that "good hackers" would be interested in indulging nostalgia for a popular children's show in America from 1980s, but that's really pushing it.

You don't have to argue, you just count the upvotes.

Upvotes aren't important and do not indicate that something is good content.

I imagine good hackers might be interested in paying it forward, since literacy is a prerequisite of hacking.
