ZUCKERBERG LOVES CENTRALIZED POWER

I wrote, “maybe centralized kingdoms of power and influence aren’t the answer” back in January of 2024.

Now Mark Zuckerberg writes, “the history of democracy and economics has proved that centralized power stifles human potential.”

I mean, he’s talking about the fantasy world of “delivering personal superintelligence,” but he’s right about one thing: centralized power stifles human potential.

It stifles creative potential, artistic potential, (ahem) home ownership potential… large platforms like Facebook and Instagram wield so much power, determining who wins and who loses on a minute to minute basis. I know they don’t owe anyone free traffic, but it’s their digital roulette table system that stifles the creative efforts of millions (unless they pay up, of course).
