Sean Parker: We lived on farms, then we lived in cities, and now we're going to live on the internet!
Divya Narendra: [Referring to Zuckerberg] This guy doesn't have three friends to rub together to have a fourth.
Mark Zuckerberg: [impressed with the meeting with Sean Parker] Shit! Eduardo Saverin: [a moment later, exasperated] Yeah.
It is time that we dispensed with the myth that the market is a force of nature that should not be meddled with. Markets are social creations that can be, and have been, modified for social purposes.
The modern period adds social ethics to religions agenda, for we now realize that social structures are not like laws of nature. They are human creations, so we are responsible for them.
In practice, socialism didn't work. But socialism could never have worked because it is based on false premises about human psychology and society, and gross ignorance of human economy.
The social and physical construction of suburban America really was quite complex. It was a very elaborate system, and clearly a massive social engineering project that has changed U.S. society enormously.

Social change doesn’t happen overnight: It takes decades for momentum to build and for the once-radical edge to become mainstream.
The technology is the independent variable, the social system the dependent variable. Social, systems are therefore determined by systems of technology; as the latter change, so do the former.
One poll shows that by 61 percent to 29 percent Americans under 40 say that Social Security needs to be fixed.
Social Security not only helps Americans enjoy a secure retirement, it has also kept millions of Americans out of poverty.
I really admire the way the fans have joined me in social justice endeavours and the charitable work that I've been involved in. We've raised over $100,000 on Twitter for our non-profit in Uganda.
Real progress comes from people.
