I really enjoyed hearing him talk one on one for three hours with Joe Rogan the other day. Normally he comes off as robotic and awkward but it made me realize he’s extremely intelligent, has a wide breadth of knowledge on a large number of topics, and just gets nervous the same way most of us would while reading off a script during a corporate event.

His answers came off to me as scripted responses that were practised beforehand multiple times with actors.

Yes, he has the company lines well rehearsed. But he was also admits he's a mortal human who didn't choose to be the moderator between the geo-political battle lines that have manifested themselves through today's social media. And he probably understands the nuances of that unique responsibility better than any of us here.

I don't understand saying "He didn't choose to be" - yes, he absolutely at every point made the choice to attain and maintain power to do this, this is absolutely false.

Or he made choices to become a successful digital ad-deliverer in a world where Google exists, and the rest was a by-product.

Perhaps Zuck hired Nathan Fielder:
