Funny, I did EECS at Berkeley nearly a decade ago and also still have the occasional nightmare about forgetting to finish something, but remembering at the last minute. Something something about evolution rewarding anxiety and neuroticism.
Honestly, who the hell cares what Facebook has to say about this? I genuinely don't understand how these random tech executives end up feeling an obligation to push out statements like these.
Is there any other explanation than these people having massively overblown feelings of self importance? I'm genuinely stumped.
And I'd like to add this whole thing wasn't possible before facebook/twitter, not possible at this scale. Technology without responsibility often leads on the wrong path.
maybe you're the moron in not realizing that people can have values other than yours. maybe some prioritize their values to their financial security. maybe this guy is already financially independent. there's more to life than working a prestigious job -- if you don't have values and the spine to live your life true to them, what's the point?
He almost certainly is financially independent. He likely made a ton of money contributing to the problem we have today... And it sounds like he's going invest that money into a censorship-oriented social media startup.
This guy's experience at Facebook has taught him that free speech is the problem. His next startup sounds like Facebook's next multi-billion dollar acquisition.
