I’m sitting here in Denmark having been affected by these geeks. They may not have built the Pantheon, but surely they have channeled a group of people’s creativity towards something we have integrated into our society?

Not saying they didn't have an impact -- just that it's worth debating whether the impact is truly a net positive for society on a grand scale, particularly if we're going to give them a pass on less than stellar behavior. Zuckerberg likely has similar tendencies, should he be given a pass for making social media such a large part of our society?

  A lot of people on HN confuse "large impact" with "positive impact."

    It's not just HN - history remembers those who had large impacts, not only those who made the world better.
