The more I have seen of Zucks interactions over the years, the more I am convinced he is seriously mentally unwell. He has a fantastic brain, but fantastic things can go fantastically wrong. Particulary when surrounded by sycophants.
- thomassmith65 5y agoI am convinced he is seriously mentally unwell Facebook cancer has meta-stasized to his brain?
- ryan-allen 5y agoI wonder if he wears his ship captains hat to bed.
- zamalek 5y agoAs a neurodiverse person, that neurodiverse person creeps the hell out of me. I don't have much respect for his mental acuity either: his initial projects were the kind of thing "unpopular 13 year old me" would have come up with to get popular. He got lucky and failed his way to success.
- askafriend 5y agoThis reads like cope. You can't seriously believe this.
- zamalek 5y ago> You can't seriously believe this. That, in general, assholes rise to the top? There have been studies upon studies upon studies upon even more studies of how socio-/psychopaths have what it takes. That's not to say that Zuck is a sociopath or psychopath, but I'm pretty sure there's something going on, for which we don't have a word/diagnosis, that is a sibling of the former two. Scraping the college yearbook website to populate a website for voting on the attractiveness of female students (which is what Facebook started as) isn't all that impressive. A marginally gifted 12 year old could not only code that up in a week, but would also have the requisite lack of emotional maturity required to plaster women on a website for voting. He identified the very worst, and most vulnerable, of what we are: how we count likes, dislikes, and friends (when "friends" become nothing more than a token economy). Instead of desperately trying to connect with humanity (like the rest of us neurodiverse individuals), he chose to disconnect humanity as a whole. > You can't seriously believe this. And the inability to seriously consider what your fellow human is warning you about is just the tip of that iceberg.

- psyc 5y agoI think it’s how Gen Z describes the fox who didn’t want the grapes.

- echelon 5y agoIt was pretty smart to buy out the then-emerging competition from Instagram. The price seemed absurd at the time, but in retrospect, it was cheap and prescient. That move doesn't work anymore, though. The cat's out of the bag with TikTok, Snapchat, etc.
