    Facebook and social networks have done more damage than good to our society. We have gone from a court system with facts and evidence to digital lynch mobs that base guilt and innocence on feelings and emotions.

    At first, I just ignored the foolishness I would see on my Facebook feeds, but it has now started to become part of the fabric of our culture. The power-mongers and greedy politicians are also using all of this to grow their base.

    I feel like we have actually devolved as a society. It's one of the reasons why 100% democracy is a bad idea.

    Mark Zuckerberg may not have wanted to start a company, but now he's one of the richest people in the world. He has also ensured his family wealth for many more generations by starting a trust that will not be subjected to the death tax.

    If you read 'Hatching Twitter', you will get a better idea of Mark Zuckerberg: He thinks he is akin to a Roman Emperor and even named his daughter 'Maxima'. This is only one example, but other people that have done extensive business with Mark have said the same thing.
