I am not fan of Zuck. Have never used FB. But I think it was a good speech. He doesn't have to do this. He can be like Larry Page and disconnect from the world

I am not fan of Zuck. Have never used FB. But I think it was a good speech. He doesn't have to do this. He can be like Larry Page and disconnect from the world and no one is going bother him.
But he seems to have some ideas that I am not going to discount. The point about helping others find purpose and the role of community resonates deeply with me.
I wouldn't be where I am without it. Most of our successful open source work happens exactly this way. Allowing people to discover purpose and feel part of a community. You will constantly hear these words from people at Mozilla or Wikipedia or Khan Academy to pick just places where corporate robots aren't driving the usage of words.
With religious institutions in the west loosing their influence, with capitalism, consumerism, individualism having a cost and being antithetical to solving global problems...talking about helping others find purpose and creating a sense of community feels at least better than anything else I usually here from politicians.
