Craig of Craigslist interview

Wired Magazine ran an interview this month with Craig Newmark, the founder of Craigslist and an all-round mensch:

Google’s touchy-feely corporate mantra is “Don’t be evil.” What’s yours?
Give people a break.

A break from what?
A break from how difficult our lives are. It’s like, if you’re walking out of your apartment building and somebody is coming the other way with an armful of groceries, you hold the door. It feels good – it’s the neighborly thing to do. And our species survives by cooperating.

What poses the major threat to that survival?
Kleptocrats and sociopathic organizations that have the almighty dollar as their only goal.
