I don't think he's an evil villain. I really do think he's constantly running away from reality. It's why he created Facebook in the first place. It was meant to replace real world social interactions.

Literally all of his bad behavior can be explained by greed. What reason do we have to believe there's anything else motivating him?

I don't think he's greedy either. He thinks connecting people over the internet is good and that just happens to be a very lucrative business.

Do you actually believe in PR prepared statements by famous people?

Like a speech by politicians was actually written by them and it reflects their believes.

Judge people by their actions and not words, that the most reliable predictor of whats in their head.

If someone says they are for X, and they do the opposite of X for Y reason, would you trust them that they actually are for X?

Is he mentally ill because of a rejection?

I'm not a psychologist, I just play one on HN so I don't know but it's definitely weird that he keeps trying to use technology to replace reality.
