I think it's so important that everybody starts getting involved in their local government and their state government and the national government because you can't just expect people to do the work for you. and expect it to turn out well. And I think that's kind of the mistake that we all made.

If we want to take some responsibility, the tech industry as a whole did not get as involved as we ought to have in the past. And I think we should get more involved than we are.

I think we were busy building companies. And I remember, if I remember correctly, the only person I remember was, getting involved in local stuff was Ron Conway. Yes. And he would try to get everybody involved.

And we were all just like, you know, there's people who are smart that do that sort of thing and they're going to do their thing and they're running stuff and we're just not going to get involved. And there are a lot of people would say, I'm not political. I don't, I don't do politics. I don't, you know, they didn't get involved until it affected them. Kind of like the house is burning down.

It affects them. And yeah, You know, like they're saying that first they came for so-and-so and I didn't speak up. You know, that's what's happening here. And, you know, I just really think that people need to realize it's now affecting them and it's now time to make a change and elect better leaders.

I actually think deep down inside, he always has been. You know, I go back to the beginning days of Facebook and when there was social networks that were competing, which back at the time was MySpace, the only political party you could be was Republican or Democrat. And then along came Facebook and he added this third option called Libertarian.

And I would like to go to the Wayback Machine at some point and find his profile because his profile said he was a Libertarian. So when he started Facebook, you know, that's where he leaned. So I think he's always been a free speech person. I think he's always, this has been deep in his heart. I think what happened was he had enormous success. They grew very large and he had to become neutral.

Or he thought he did. And so I think what we're seeing with Zuck right now with his change in his, you know, even how he appears with a gold chain and how he's dressing and everything that he's doing is him going back to his roots to be more authentic. Because I think he hasn't been authentic for a long time. And that was a big critique that people had of him.

You know, they were just like, when he talks, he's like a robot. And I think what we're seeing is him coming out of his shell. And I don't know if fighting helped it or what helped it, but you know, I do think it's the best thing to do and all the platforms need to do it and should embrace it. And it can be game though. Community notes can be game that we saw it with.

I saw a report that, you know, Kamala's campaign or, or I don't know if they directly work for her or what happened, but they did take over community notes on X and started manipulating them. So you have to be really careful, you know, how you run a community. But in general, I'm all for it. I think it's the right move.
