This explains his sudden public departure from atheism.

And with this, the world edges ever so slightly closer towards the dystopia pictured in Continuum where corporate oligarchs control government and the world.

It's on Netflix if you are interested. See also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuum_(TV_series) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1954347/

Anecdotally I was just in Hawaii a few days ago and happened upon Zuckerberg meeting with Obama at the restaurant at the hotel I was staying at.

Was there a lot of security? Usually the restaurant's customers are pre-arranged and fully vetted by intelligence agencies whenever the president decides to "casually" eat at a restaurant, and half the tables are filled with covert security and secret service workers. There were probably snipers on the roof too.

I for one would like to see a real billionaire and/or genius as president. Or at least someone who acts on data.

Me too but I was hoping it would be Gates.

That would be cool. Know someone?

"Acts on data" reminds me the story where the program was given caloric values and cost of various products and tasked to calculate the cheapest way to feed a human. The answer was to drink 10 liters of vinegar per day.

Mark, don't. we have enough idiots there without you.
