You literally aught to be asking yourself, all of the time, what is the most important thing I can be working on, in the world, right now? and if you’re not working on that, why aren’t you?

If you live in a democracy and don’t have freedom of information, it’s not a democracy. And people have to understand that if you don’t have freedom of information online, it’s not going to be offline, either.

The question is the attitude. What attitude do you have to society? Do you look at what there is and you accept that as god-given, or do you see society as something where you identify a problem and then you find a creative solution for that problem? So it is a matter of: are you a spectator? or are you actively participating in society?
