Humans are greedy.

- goliatone 8y agoI don’t think is fair to characterize Facebook as something that originated from the founder’s urge to cover basic needs such as food or shelter- their own or anyone else’s for that matter. In fact startup mode pretty much demands you forget as much as possible about those basic needs by putting the startup at the center of everything you do.
