At the end of the day, money is just a proxy for votes. That is what makes politics so vulnerable to social media.
Sean Parker
At every point I am besieged by people who would like me to conform to some social norm of whatever sort of social group they expect me to be a part of. I never have any identification with these social groups.

Sean Parker
I can sort of do what I want. Maybe I have to work harder to prove myself in some new relationship because they've heard some wacky stories about me. But at least I can get the meeting.
Sean Parker
Facebook is such a basic utility. It's something that is such a part of peoples' lives, I think it's hard to imagine it going away.
Sean Parker
Running a start-up is like eating glass. You just start to like the taste of your own blood.
Sean Parker
There is no simple answer to what I think.
Sean Parker
I suffer from the delusion that every product of my imagination is not only possible, but always on the cusp of becoming real.
Sean Parker
Facebook isn't helping you make new connections, Facebook doesn't develop new relationships, Facebook is just trying to be the most accurate model of your social graph. There's a part of me that feels somewhat bored by all of this.
Sean Parker
I've never been much of a joiner.
Sean Parker
I think Facebook's biggest problem is the glut of information that Facebook's power users are overwhelmed with.
