If Zuck wasn't in the right place at the right time he wouldn't have gone on to invent Uber or Twitter or Coinbase or some shit that came after him. He would have just been another corporate tech striver making good money in the valley but we would have never heard of him. He hit the powerball and unlike these other big tech entrepreneurs he's significantly dumber and lacks the ability to reinvent himself.

Meta is the prime example of what happens when you don't know who you are and you don't have any theme. It's just where you get to after years of sitting on goldmine anyone could have invented and just got really lucky with. It reeks of aspirational striverdom and not real heartfelt innovation. He's a midwit soulless bugman who got insanely lucky and everyone knows it and he can't open his mouth in public one time without coming across as an embarrassment of a human being.

just say that his personality is more 1) introverted and 2) autistic, and that you don't like him. you're right that he doesn't have the same level of passion and energy as the other big-name entrepreneurs, and he's less articulate and more autistic. he's not dumber, just less likeable and awe-inspiring - to you.

it's clownish to think that you (and other xo posters) have any right to judge self-made centi-billionaires from behind a keyboard, but here we are. your assertions are extremely irritating and off the mark, though, so get it the fuck together.

When I looked up at the stars in the sky and imagined traveling to Mars, or read a heart-wrenching novel of classic literature, I always thought, you know what's way better than this? Making an insane amount of money as a soulless bugman computer nerd with zero personality or heart of any kind and then donating millions of dollars to fund campaigns to elect DAs and change policies nationwide to let niggers out of jail so they can go rob people.

Wow, you know pumo, you had it right all along. Rich sociopaths are the pulse of this nation. Thanks for all the good Zuck has done. From ruining young people's self esteem to creating the world's largest human trafficking network, to steering enraged boomers into endless online food fights over divisive political topics to retain them on the site and increase engagement, I'm really blown away by his genius achievements.

You have it all right pumo, I was wrong. I worship success at all costs. Fuck standing for anything. Money is all that matters and if you become an autistic billionaire with a horrible personality and retard level ability to understand and empathize with other human beings, you are the truth and the light. Money and success uber alles. Thanks for correcting me forget I ever had any dreams.

you continually conflate personality/likeability with intelligence when they clearly are not the same thing.

you have this juvenile notion that all the smart businessmen of the world need to have "passion" a la the vague notion your $50k/year liberal arts college scammed you on.

you've accomplished nothing of importance in your entire life, and you downgrade one of the richest men in the world to "just" a middle manager who got lucky / hit the jackpot. as if, if you took 100 XO middle managers and transported them back to 2003 and gave them the "idea" of an online social network, that all of them would have succeeded in becoming facebook.

keep making flowery meaningless posts about nothing. you're retarded, infantile, an actual IRL mediocrity who gets too huffed up on liberal arts. very sad

You really got me, I wish I could do my whole life over but this time with a deep reverence for mega corporations. I'm going get a FAANG tattoo today. You're right The Clash were wrong about everything. Long live FAANG, and the technocracy. They were right about goddamn everything. It's companies, not artists, who make life worth living. God save the all-time KING of middle managers. I will thank Zuck as I take my Pill and boot into the metaverse. Thank you pumo I am saved. Art is really gay anyway. But corporations and the way they improve our lives is forever. God save Mark Zuckerberg God I hope he outlives us all.

Remember when SXSW was an actual arts festival and not a giant advertisement for GC? It's been about 15 years since it was relevant. Tech strivers show up and ruin everything and turn all culture into a Ted Talk on the iPod.

I don't give a shit what he does until in affects me and everything becomes uniformly ruined and all dive bars are forced out of business and anything unique is completely ruined.

Yes I'm a huge hipster fag and I want to be gay with my other friends from Bowdoin. But I'm running out of places to do my thing. It's all gone. Everything with a pulse has been ripped off the map and burned to the ground. And all that's left are people living in pods jacked into the Metaverse.

What happened to live and let live? Zuck meddles in politics and everything all to increase the influence of the technocracy and make life shittier for everyone. I may not be a billionaire with a huge platform but I'm going to stand up and make my voice count for whatever it's worth, and voice my dissatisfaction with these extreme faggots.

What is Zuck his fucking dad or something?

Look at this interview with, of all people, a legit grifter Gary Vee. How could any self respecting man go through with this? It's obviously shameless advertising for his product but is there anything less cool than this? This guy is like king of the low IQ retards.

(https://xoxohth.com/thread.php?thread_id=5005507&forum_id=2#43770193)

And then he just declared himself to be a marketing genius and guru and started posting really anodyne updates with him and expensive cars and watches with little statements about grinding and the hustle, and he parlayed this into a big following and sold people self help seminars and shit.

His followers have an average IQ about 70 and he just sort of decided that he was famous and because he had a bunch of family money he could back it up with pics of expensive lifestyle and this made him a guru.

I have never heard of him actually accomplishing anything or any serious players thinking he's the real deal at all. So I was surprised he got someone as big as Zuck on there, but it's almost entirely free advertising as Zuck pitches Meta. He probably paid Gary a bunch of money to reach his followers and part of Metas larger strategy to get the word out about their product. All very boring and soulless.

isn't that kind of a stereotype for nerds? and one that likely developed for a reason? being socially awkward, unable to understand social cues, not being particularly interested in art or human expression, etc.

I'm really just livid he's moving to Texas and bringing all his faggy San Francisco tech people with him. This is possibly the worst thing that could have happened to my life. I just realized how much I hate all tech people and want them to go away but they show up in your area with their hoverboards and upscale cocktail bars and all culture gets demolished and goes to shit within a few years.

I'm honestly moving to Tennessee if this shit gets any gayer FUCK these bugmen and their retarded way of life and the way they superspread and colonize like a disease until all legacy mom and pop restaurants are gone and replaced by Sodasopa.

Yes, I'm insecure and angry. But at least I'm upset about the right things. Anyone who believes tech is all there is to life and profits above all else is lost and has no hope at redeeming society and making life worth living. Most of the happiest people on this bort are the ones who got out of the rat race and found meaning, not the ones who doubled down and climbed sociopathically to the top of this gay Earth.

(https://xoxohth.com/thread.php?thread_id=5005507&forum_id=2#43770428)

plenty of the "great minds" like isaac newton were autistic incels. almost all of the titans of industry were sociopathic strivers.

lol at you just realizing this, and throwing a temper tantrum about it. sorry, your empty words can't argue your way out of your own mediocrity.

He is of course destroying society.

(https://xoxohth.com/thread.php?thread_id=5005507&forum_id=2#43770519)

This is the most autistic corporate way of saying some basic shit like hey we're a social media tech company. Boom. But he's gotta mix in all these buzz words and repeat himself 3 times. I can't imagine what kind of soulless bugman actually talks like this, like they're reading off a cue-card prepared by lawyers.

Thiel has a story about Facebook early on getting a $1 billion offer, and Thiel thought they might take it, and Zuckerberg was like "this should take 2 minutes obviously we can't take this deal."

Similarly, I and everyone on this board mocked Facebook for purchasing Instagram for $1 billion. Turns out Zuckerberg was 100x smarter than us.

He's successfully run Facebook up and up and up and up for 20 years now, and he's been at the helm for all of that. He might be the best business man of all of the tech billionaires.

(https://xoxohth.com/thread.php?thread_id=5005507&forum_id=2#43774304)

Obviously he's very high level in terms of mega autism, coding, biz, vision etc.

I don't think acquiring Insta was genius level though because he just bought a lot of shit because they had deep pockets and that one panned out. You can play this game all day. Was he a genius for acquiring WhatsApp? Or retarded for not thinking of TikTok. Seems pretty milquetoast that one of his big money plays got huge.

Anyway my point is he's retarded in other, humanistic ways.
