    I think that attitude is a trap, and what got us into this mess in the first place. If more people did what Young did, these platforms wouldn’t have the power (which we give them) to unleash as much harm on the world. Your suggestion implies that we should all wait for others to move first. That’s the definition of paralysis.

    And with a net worth the size of Young’s, it’s simply not true to say he “needs” to use those platforms, except in the more privileged misuse of the word. They’re luxury items for him.
