From a 2010 interview with Der Spiegel: 'SPIEGEL: You could have started a company in Silicon Valley and lived in a home in Palo Alto with a swimming pool. Why did you decide to do the WikiLeaks project instead? Assange: We all only live once. So we are obligated to make good use of the time that we have and to do something that is meaningful and satisfying. This is something that I find meaningful and satisfying. That is my temperament. I enjoy creating systems on a grand scale, and I enjoy helping people who are vulnerable. And I enjoy crushing bastards. So it is enjoyable work.' That so many in the corporate media find him unlikable I think reflects their own conformity and complacency in the toxic positions they hold. Also Wikileaks is doing their job better than they are, and reminding them of all the principles they sacrificed on the altar of their career, so of course they've got to loathe him for that too.
