Wow am I reading this correctly? To recap:
- They're going to run Zuck for president to beat the millennial socialist zeitgeist.
- They're going to use generational warfare to stage an institutional coup.
> we need to do better than simply dismiss them by saying that they are stupid or entitled or brainwashed
Classy.

- tru3_power 10mo agoI did not get him running for president from this. Which part made you think that?
- disambiguation 10mo agoGranted I'm taking creative liberties reading between the lines and mapping to other context. I'd give it low odds overall, but I'm gleaning a non-zero likelihood worthy of consideration: 1. "Mark Zuckerberg has been cast as the spokesman for the Millennial generation." 2. "I am the most well-known person of my generation" 3. "we'll even see a millennial president within the next few cycles by 2032." 4. The direct comparison to Pete Buttigieg. 5. He's signaled a presidential bid in the recent past. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/alexkantrowitz/mark-zuckerberg-not-running-for-president https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/alexkantrowitz/mark-zuc... Some additional interpretation of mine from the exchange: 6. The expressed need to "win" in the policy arena in the next few years. 7. The imminent "transfer of value" (and power) from boomers to millennials, and the explicit urgency and intent to "position" themselves to capitalize on this "rapid shift." Further real world context: 8. Thiel's track record of hands on political involvement with Trump, Vance, and Yarvin. 9. Thiel's recent "antichrist" lectures which articulates a fear of being "scapegoated."
