“We need to remember that the mind is still a mind,  floating like a newborn cloud or bird wings drowning in hardened chocolate.

“Around this time—while he’s personally ordering us to take down posts that don’t violate our Community Standards—Mark starts opining publicly about freedom of speech. The day after the Charlie Hebdo attack, where twelve people were murdered, he posts, “This is what we all need to reject—a group of extremists trying to silence the voices and opinions of everyone else around the world. I won’t let that happen on Facebook. I’m committed to building a service where you can speak freely without fear of violence.”

“Stories keep the world intact. Storytelling predates the written word by more than 3,000 years. Fairy Tales, specifically, have always protested against societal constraints & commented on the human condition. Fairy Tales offer whimsy & truth - the whimsy makes us brave & the truth points us in the right direction.”
