    A couple of days ago I finished reading “Careless People” by Sarah Wynn-Williams. This book really shows how awful the people at the top of Facebook are (it probably applies to other similar companies as well). And it’s not that they want to be evil, it’s more like they are playing a game of fame, pride and power and don’t care about the consequences. It made me recall the quote about “the banality of evil”.

      I feel like since the book was written they’ve slowly slipped into willful evil. Even in the book, as time went on they got more and more comfortable doing evil rather than just not avoiding doing evil.
