    He’s a fucking idiot who figured out how to make a web site and got lucky with what he built and when he built it. He is not brilliant by any measure. Fuck him.

      All of the billionaires are fucking idiots who got lucky. I have no idea why people look up to them like they’re supergeniuses. They’re clearly not. We’ve learned to equate money with intelligence but there’s actually little connection. I’d argue it’s more closely aligned with immorality, and of course luck is a big part of it. The immorality just helps you turn a little startup luck into even more “luck”, recursively, forever.

      Why is this ‘either or’? He is a brilliant person and a sociopath. It’s not mutually exclusive.

          Zuckerberg learned computer programming in his childhood. At about the age of eleven, he created “ZuckNet”, a program that allowed computers at the family home and his father’s dental office to communicate with each other.[11] During Zuckerberg’s high-school years, he worked to build a music player called the Synapse Media Player. The device used machine learning to learn the user’s listening habits, which was posted to Slashdot[12] and received a rating of 3 out of 5 from PC Magazine.[13] The New Yorker once said of Zuckerberg, “some kids played computer games. Mark created them.”[7] While still in high school, he attended Mercy College taking a graduate computer course on Thursday evenings.[7]

          I’d say this is enough to call him brilliant.

          Just because he’s an arrogant sociopath doesn’t mean he’s also a knuckle dragging idiot.
