>Because we forgot there’s anything else. Because someone convinced us that the score even matters.
Because we want homes near the offices we're required to work from in order to maintain those capitalism high scores, and those homes are a fundamentally zero sum resource.

Zuckerberg with VR might be a better example. When it comes to his existing platforms he seems to be "careless", my take is that's he's even "careless" about the aspects in which his VR platform is already successful (a game store) because he's wishing for something else. (I get pinged with notifications on my phone about a game that's 50% off and I want to buy, but it doesn't drop me to a landing page for that game but rather to a disorganized home page which I find really tiring to engage with) You hear here and there he's got a boyish interest in Ancient Rome or UFC or something like that, but unlike Musk he doesn't seem to be whole-heartedly into anything and when shareholders slap his wrist over being distracted by AI he half-heartedly looks like he's pivoting into half-heartedness but boy he's got a genius for acquisitions to reinforce his monopolies or just plain acquisitions of monopolists (Luxotica) and he scares me about as much as the witch in that Narnia movie who looks more like a junkie than anything else.
