Here’s something “to build a future centered on our pre-digital values of connection, creativity and respect.”

He’s right on target. Over decades working in and with the tech industry, it has become very clear to me that a disproportionate number of tech founders and investors really dislike meaningful interactions with other humans (or, indeed, just dislike other humans). There are various reasons underlying this attitude, but everything is designed and monetised to allow them as individuals to avoid dealing with other people as much as possible. In the process they’ve created a world where humans serve the technology as much as if not more than the obverse.
