I would. Naked apes strive for status: facebook is (sort of) a super-version of that striving. If I were an alien tasked with invading earth, I'd figure out a way to convince humans that surrendering would get them laid. Since there are so many humans, their ancestors must have wanted to reproduce; therefore, they probably do too. It targets their weakness, ergo, they're weak. There's no shame in it.
- jamesaguilar 13y agoIt seems like your definition of weak would include most high status people. That feels like not a great or useful definition.
- Ygg2 13y agoSeeing how there is a huge number of drug users amongst the richest, I am unsure if grandparent was on to something or not.

- Turing_Machine 13y agoSo you're redefining "engaging in behavior likely to lead to reproduction" as "weakness"? Darwin would be intrigued by that idea, I'm sure.
- Ygg2 13y agoDarwin would probably say it depends on context. There is a species of fish that has females running alongside sharks, their natural predators, in attempt to prevent being impregnated by the males. Think about it. A species that tries actively to prevent and postpone copulation.
- eruditely 13y agoThe only thing that's weak is your ability to see actual functional reasons for having a facebook. It's a great baseline medium to organize events and to keep everyone updated.
