The post spends a lot of words circling the core point without engaging it directly. The point, IMHO, is: like Genghis Khan, Zuckerberg is an empire conqueror rather than an empire maintainer (*). Everything MZ built up to now has been unreservedly secondary and reactive with respect to a preexisting state of things. To his credit, MZ was able to untap the full value where previous owners couldn't. But there was never a holistic vision how things should be in the steady state. At a personal level MZ seems to lack a lot of the skills necessary to keep the system going in steady state. Now MZ claims that he sees a new area for conquest, but there's no preexisting kingdom there, just wilderness. He was never good at wilderness situations before, hence he's unlikely to succeed. The End.
