I think perhaps it would be useful to completely ignore the nice words people use and just judge everyone based on their behavior.

From Zuckerberg’s behavior, since the beginning, it’s clear what he wants is power, and if you have the kind of mental health disorder where you believe you know better than everyone and deserve power over others, then that’s not dystopian at all.

Everything he says is PR virtue signaling. Judge the man on his actions.

> completely ignore the nice words people use

Kind of an unrelated topic but I'm reminded of a video essay in which the creator talks about this. They put it very kindly, IMO:

> Rich and powerful people have quite a different attitude and approach to truth and lies and games compared to ordinary people.

Which sounds like a really nice way of saying that rich and powerful people are dishonest by ordinary standards.
