People who are trying to pay attention to what goes on around them.

When something happens, you look for the causes and motivations. If you just focus on the event itself, you have a much narrower understanding of how to anticipate or prevent such an event in the future

I'm not sure I need to "anticipate or prevent" an event like Mark Zuckerberg deciding to donate to some charity.

You're missing the point. Follow his motivations and you may be able to anticipate or prevent his next move.

He obviously wants to run for President. But again, that doesn't have much bearing on whether this tool is useful.

Nobody was implying that the Measures for Justice project wasn't useful. I was only questioning Zuckerberg's motives for supporting it, and the media giving him credit.
