A recent New York Times article profiled wealthy Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin. Mr. Saverin, age 30, relinquished US citizenship last September to relocate to Singapore.
The article notes Mr. Saverin’s desire to encourage young entrepreneurs to embrace the Facebook world, “where people are at the center of everything.”
Categoric statements about the center of anything are dicey. The premise of Facebook is not people, it is relationship – its creation, maintenance, destruction, and exploitation. Once visible, relationship becomes a shifty, changeable, Heraclitus river.
History memorializes the clinging waste of human ego-centrism, the mortality of persona. The Ptolemaic system had its time, now gone.
Travel far enough and the center found is the differentiating edge of something else. Embrace the Facebook world? Maybe not.
Shouldn't...but Do
