Zuckerberg had to put out one of his
00:00:02
manifestos. Let's listen to Mark
00:00:04
Zuckerberg if we have to.
00:00:05
What I think an even more meaningful
00:00:07
impact in our lives is going to come
00:00:08
from everyone having a personal super
00:00:10
intelligence that helps you achieve your
00:00:12
goals. Create what you want to see in
00:00:14
the world. Be a better friend and grow
00:00:16
to become the person that you aspire to
00:00:18
be.
00:00:19
Blather.
00:00:20
I'm going to be the person I aspire to
00:00:22
be because of Mark Zuckerberg.
00:00:24
One time he called me when he wrote one
00:00:26
of these ridiculous manifestos. He
00:00:28
called me and asked me when I when he
00:00:29
was speaking to me. He just was like,
00:00:30
"Social media will bring us together."
00:00:32
Like such [ __ ] And of course it
00:00:35
didn't. At the time I was like, "This is
00:00:36
such [ __ ] Just say you just want to
00:00:39
make money on automating all our
00:00:41
valuable work. I'm fine with that. I'm
00:00:43
here to help you achieve your goals, be
00:00:45
a better friend, and grow a person you
00:00:46
aspire to be. It's not about automating
00:00:48
all your value work, Mark. It's about
00:00:50
automating all your valuable work and so
00:00:52
you can make money off of it." Just say
00:00:54
that.
