You're right, he's much worse now.
replyYou're suggesting a ton of money and power made Zuckerberg more empathetic?
replyNo I didn’t suggest that, I’m stating a fact that kids say stupid stuff all the time.
replyNo, you didn't suggest that. You suggested that the quote is not representative of who he is now.
replyWe'd need a lot more context (and words) for us to understand that sentence as anything other than defending him. At best you're giving him the benefit of doubt.
I think his actions speak for themselves. Facebook, effectively completely controlled by Zuckerberg, has consistently taken actions that erode privacy and degrade mental health.
replyAnd no, not every young person has the attitude that Zuckerberg demonstrated in his "dumb f...s" comment. If my son or daughter was behaving like that in their late teens/early twenties I would be ashamed and feel like a failure as a parent.
