It is rooted in <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/selfpreservation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>selfpreservation</span></a>; an instinctive reaction to the fear of <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/repercussions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>repercussions</span></a> that might arise from our <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/past" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>past</span></a> actions. Remorse centers on acknowledging the hurtful impact that our actions may have had on others. It is a more profound, empathetic response that arises from a place of compassion and understanding.</p>

William Lindsey :toad:<p>Nolan asks,</p><p>"Odd, is it not, that a man whose primary concern is global equality would need a subterranean apocalypse shelter designed to seal him off from all of the (equal) people outside who would be, presumably, burning or starving or being eaten by the zombies?"</p><p>Perhaps "equality" means something different to the Zuckerbergs and Dorseys and Thiels and Musks of the world than it does to us ordinary non-tech-bro folks?</p><p><a href="https://toad.social/tags/Zuckerberg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Zuckerberg</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/SuperRich" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SuperRich</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/SelfPreservation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SelfPreservation</span></a> <br>/3</p>

William Lindsey :toad:<p>As Hamilton Nolan notes, in 2015, Mark Zuckerberg wrote a treacly public letter to his daughter, announcing that he'd be giving away his enormous wealth to promote equality. </p><p>But in the real world, what is Zuckerberg actually doing? He's spent almost a decade buying land on the Hawaiian island of Kauai, and is building a survival shelter for himself and his family there.</p><p><a href="https://toad.social/tags/Zuckerberg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Zuckerberg</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/SuperRich" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SuperRich</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/SelfPreservation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SelfPreservation</span></a><br>/1</p><p><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/dec/21/mark-zuckerberg-apocalypse-bunker-hawaii" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">theguardian.com/commentisfree/</span><span class="invisible">2023/dec/21/mark-zuckerberg-apocalypse-bunker-hawaii</span></a></p>
