Mark Zuckerberg: Building Global Community
I find this letter to be deeply cynical. There&#x27;s a baked in assumption that a global community is a good thing and that the only possible reason to resist it is because you&#x27;re being left behind by its benefits. I don&#x27;t think that&#x27;s true and I certainly don&#x27;t think it should be assumed a priori. There are people in this country, and every where in the world, who don&#x27;t want globalization. And it&#x27;s not because they haven&#x27;t received enough of the benefits or need to be educated better, they don&#x27;t want it for real reasons and, in a Democracy, that should be an acceptable stance. If we&#x27;re not willing to accept that stance than we&#x27;re forcing people into a global community that matches our vision for the future, not theirs. In other words it&#x27;s a plot for world domination of one world view over another. I find it deeply cynical that instead it masquerades as a virtuous plan to help all man kind.
