Nice article and all but what are the recommended pragmatic steps for individuals, besides casting votes for political candidates who care?

Hey so I have to ask, do you actually like what you do? I don't mean that in a rude way or anything. I just honestly don't know what people do at FB anymore. Do you work on the core platform or are you working on Mark's new idea?

Very succinct. I agree 100% and wish more people had this line of thought.
