It's always good to remember this and we should keep repeating it. This is the most profound insight we have into the mind of Mark Zuckerberg and what he thinks of his user base. Stop listening to the PR and examine his actions since t

I'd prefer neither had it. Neither can be trusted to retain a glass of water, let alone personally identifying information that can spur advertising campaigns and sway elections in countries around the world.

Civilization games taught me that vassals, when powerful enough can break their vassalage and become free again. Perhaps that's what is happening with China. It's no longer dependent on the US in the way it was and in time, will e
