I don't think so at all. His posts and calls to rally where catalysts that were required.

So whats the lesson? To me it's pretty simple. You want change learn to do it the right way. Gandhi, MLK and Mandela didn't burn themselves and get change over night. And guess what, being media savvy is how you make change happen. There are to this day people who will call those three characters the most media savvy men of their time.

If marketing can sell Coke, Donald Trump and Kim Kardashian it can be used to sell other things too. Positive things. Constructive things. To pretend without media savvy your message will get out and have influence is highly misguided in this day and age.

Take a fucking look around.

How many people in prominent positions in well known companies open their mouths when there is a obvious stink in the air?

I have massive respect for the guy.

Too late. The kids around here believe that the world donating 50 Billion dollars to prop up a Mark Zuckerberg, so that he can bring virtual reality (or whatever else) to the masses is worth while.

I don't buy this narrative. It's been used for a while to raise funds to "scale up".

The truth I fear is, if the bottom of the pyramid cant afford a computer, how much do you think they are going to be spending out of their empty mobile wallets. And then some wise ass will say but look they are spending.

The truth is they are being manipulated into spending, just like the suckers who were tricked into mortgages they couldn't afford. Who else does one think is clicking the infinite supply online ads.

How does this matter seriously? It's been a while since I have had a problem making payments anywhere in the world, or even on crappy e-commerce sites anywhere in the world.

:) Brought back memories of thesis writing days.

Just wanted to add that the process described is more or less the same whether you are a musician beginning to compose, a dancer learning to choreograph, a painter creating new style etc.

At the end of the day its all about learning and developing language. The language of thought.
