I'm kinda torn on this. On one hand it's noble and nice to see a rich guy who's interested in things like this as opposed to kickin it on his yacht with models all the time. On the other hand, I hate saying this but the use of the word "responsibility" with regards to "cure all diseases" reeks of egotism and a guy who's kinda living on a different planet. "Haha, only I can remedy what you mere mortals stand no hope of ever doing!" I realize I'm being hyperbolic about it...I really shouldn't criticize I guess.
- duderific 10y agoNo I agree with you, I found that "cure all diseases" thing hopelessly naive and ridiculous. He's gonna need to get a little more focused than that if he really wants to effect changes...maybe pick a couple specific diseases that have big impacts (cancer, malaria, cholera) and start there.
- nsajko 10y ago> noble and nice The noble and nice stuff is PR. I'm not saying Zuckerberg is evil, but that is exactly the point, we don't know anything about him, except that he has an enormous amount of capital, and thus influence. PR gets him even more power. And I think that power is something to be scared off.
