IMAGINE working your ass off all through high school, studying instead of partying, volunteering with school and community groups so you can into a good college. You send out your applications, to Stanford, Harvard, Princeton, as you have the 4.8 GPA, and all the right clubs on your resume. Your mom kisses each envelope before mailing, âfor luck,â then hugs you, with her silent prayer that youâll be accepted everywhere, that the world will see her beautiful daughter the way she does.
Pins and needles until the letters start coming in, or maybe they wonât, and no college will want you, keeps playing in your head, until February rolls around and letters DO come. Cal Berkeley wants you! UC Davis wants you! Stanford wait-listed you. And Harvard ACCEPTED YOU!! Youâre dancing in the kitchen with your mom, dad, and little brother, laughing, hugging, celebrating your achievement of hard work and tenacity. For the moment, you let yourself bask in the glow of your families pride.
August comes round, and you are settling into your dorm room at Harvard. Your roommate is nice enough, though sheâs hardly there. Unlike you, sheâs very social. She got into Harvard on her daddyâs dime. He went there. She had a 3.6 GPA, but got a free pass into the school, as did ex-president George Bush Jr (with a 2.35 GPA). If nothing else, Harvard is incestuous. Many of Harvard students are related to past students, with money.
You love your classes. Your professors. A few months into your Harvard experience you are doing well academically, even if you havenât made any real friends. You assure your mom you're fine, though you donât tell her youâre feeling more than a bit lonely. The popular girls, like your roommate, came in with money, and come from money. They dress trendy, buy expensive, look sharp, act confident. Make it in Harvard, or not, they have no worries after school. The rich rarely have to worry like the rest of us.
You come back to your empty dorm room one afternoon, turn on your computer, and are about to get started on the paper you have to write for Expository, but the image on the screen stops you dead. Your face stares back at you, next to some other young woman. Under her picture it says, âHOT!â Under YOUR PICTURE voters agree you're not.
This is the beginning of Facemash, which eventually became Facebook. This is MARK ZUCKERBERGâS idea of funâmaking women feel like shit for his entertainment. IMAGINE what that girl must have felt when she saw NOT under her Harvard profile picture. IMAGINE if it was YOUR CHILD. OR YOU.
And hereâs what ZUCKERBERG said the first night he released Facemash: âI almost want to put some of these faces next to pictures of some farm animals and have people vote on which is more attractive.â
This is MARK ZUCKERBERG then, and THIS IS MARK ZUCKERBERG NOW! He is still the same ugly, petty, small man/child, pulling the same ugly crap, indifferent to anyone but himself, ignoring the pain he is causing across the globe now. Zuckerberg was already a second year student at Harvard. He was not a child. If ZUCKERBERG was a decent man, a man of goodness, not cruelty, he never would have COPIED HOT OR NOT, an app that was already out there. Zucky just ripped it off! To debase Harvard WOMEN. Shame on you ZUCKY, and your MAMA and PAPA, for not teaching you how to treat others with respect and kindness!
ZUCKERBERG is still indifferent to anyone but his own needs, even TODAY. His Facebook recommendation engine helped get TRUMPY ELECTED! And he'll likely do it again. How? His recommendation engine only shows you what ZUCKY WANTS YOU TO SEE. You do NOT see all your connectionâs posts. ZUCKY WONâT LET YOU. He shows you only posts that REFLECT YOU. It helps his advertisers sell you more, to show you only what you've shown interest in, or people like you have clicked on. We are all merely seeing posts that reflect our own opinions now.
ZUCKY only sees his own reflection too. Itâs what allowed him to debase women at Harvard. It is allowing him to keep his screwed up recommendation engine on and running, as you are more likely to BUY from people reflecting your position. Russians, Republicans spreading lies, ZUCKY doesnât care. He cares about getting and keeping advertisers. His âfake newsâ AI department is a joke. I know someone working there, and they tell me he really isnât trying to stop it at all. It doesnât serve him to do so. He wants advertisers, and you donât get them, and keep them, limiting ad sales.
He got lucky debasing women from an app he RIPPED OFF. Now heâs god, to so many. Sadly, they are so blinded by his âsuccessâ and they can not see the ugly little man/child he was @Harvard, and still is. Humans get our moral fiber between 0 â 8, maybe up to 10 years old. He clearly didnât get much moral guidance from his parents. And amoral people RARELY CHANGE. They need a brick to the head, to âhit bottom,â and ZUCKY ainât fallin any time soon. Now, heâs guiding the world to disaster, to make money from advertisers, to keep FACEBOOK going. (And this is what Millennials, and MBAs deem âsuccess.â)
My hope, MARK ZUCKERBERG, is that you learn to THINK beyond yourself, ACT with kindness and empathy, instead of what you were obviously raised to beâtotally and completely self-interested. Your power was wielded by the wealth you of your parentage, and mere chanceâmean, thoughtless, sexist, dumb luck, literally. Imagine how you and your wife, Priscilla Chan, would feel if YOUR DAUGHTERS, Maxima and August, were voted NOT HOT, deemed UGLY their first year at Harvard, as no doubt theyâll go there with the money you have made on the trillions of wasted hours all of us have spent on FACEBOOK and INSTAGRAM.
