“Words like ‘freedom,’ ‘justice,’ ‘democracy’ are not
common concepts; on the contrary, they are rare. People are not born knowing what these are. It takes enormous and, above all, individual effort to arrive at the respect for other people that these words imply.”

If Balaji Srinivasan is any guide, then the Silicon Valley plutocrats are definitely not OK.
