I think there were a lot of people for whom, if you knew how painful it would be along the way you wouldn't get started. But then, you know, I think that that's one of the things that's good about human nature is you can underestimate how painful things are going to be so that way you can go and do good things.

Yeah, you know, I, um... I started working with people to design some of my own clothes. And so I figured, look, we're going to design eyewear. We're going to design other stuff that people wear. Let's get good at this. And so this one, I actually worked with this great fashion designer, Mike Amiri. And he's got a great story.

So I wouldn't be surprised if you were doing one of these with him one day. This one is, so I've kind of started working on this series of shirts with some of my favorite classical sayings on them. So this one is pathémathos, learning through suffering. It's a little family saying and also Aeschylus.

Um... Well, I think you learn what matters to you and what's important and kind of your place in the world through repeatedly hitting your head against different challenges. And I mean, I think that that is sort of, that's the journey, right? I mean, that's the entrepreneurial journey. It's also, I think, part of the beauty of building things.

But this is something that Jensen talks a lot about too, right? It's like, I feel like When you go to start a company, everyone kind of writes down what they would like their values to be. But values are not what you write down on the wall. It's like your lived behaviors. And you only really learn what you care about when you have to make hard trade-offs and face challenges.

Yeah, so... Thanks, I'm excited about them too. So, you know, at Meta we've been building social experiences for 20 years now. And originally it took the form of a website, then mobile apps. But the thing is, I never thought about us as a social media company. We're not a social app company. We are a... a social connection company, right?

I mean, we talk about what we're doing is building the future of human connection. And that's not only going to be constrained over time to what you can do on a phone, right, on a small screen. So when you think about, you know, when we got started, okay, we're like a handful of kids.

You know, we weren't able, we didn't have the resources at the time to go define whatever the next computing platform is. And also, you know, Facebook originally got started around the same time as a bunch of the early smartphones and those platforms got started.
