I saw The Social Network aka The Asperger’s Wing and thought it was a superficially entertaining dialogorrhea fest that’s supposed to make credentialed class yuppies and SWPLs inwardly gloat that their brains are quick enough to follow the zipadeedooda banter. The theeeeatre was a packed house; looking around, the crowd reminded me of the people who went to go see Jodie Foster’s IQ mash note Little Man Tate. Same faces, same age bracket, same preternatural glow of self-satisfied superiority.
Which got me thinking… why did this thin psychological slice of Zuckerberg’s inner sanctum (Hey! A hot chick’s rejection spurs him to achieve great things!) generate such buzz among the suckup credentialati? (Judging by Zuckernerd’s bland Asian girlfriend, he doesn’t seem like a larger-than-life figure upon whom to base an entire plotline.)
This movie says a lot more about the audience demo giving it accolades than it does about a handful of socially retarded code monkeys who hit it big in the internet glory days. The fact is, SWPLs are enamored of genetic genius and creativity… not ambition, not fortitude, not conscientiousness or discipline… IQ and CQ. The whole lot of them has Harvard envy, and they watch dramatized movies about their IQ superiors with equal parts schadenfreude and admiration. They’ve got a hard-on for good breeding, even if they’d never admit it.
Jesse Eisenberg is not a good actor. The guy who played the Winklevii was good. I was hoping the movie… excuse me, film… would take a wild twist where the Winklevii tag teamed Zuckerberg in a back alley. Rashida Jones is eminently bangable. Justin Timberlake has an annoying face.
These SWPL movies also always seem to involve locations and or times where there are absolutely nothing but other white people.
Which seems to make their movies seem more and more out of place as America gets browner.
So the settings tend to go abroad or back in time.
I haven’t seem this movie, but I suspect this Asian chick was pretty much the only non-white you’d see.

My opinion of facebook (Zuckerberg) and Myspace (doesn’t Newscorp own this—Murdoch):
These entities should be making money from adspace on the margins of your account INSTEAD of putting tracking junk in your computer and telling every ad agency who will buy it where you spend time online, so that they can tailor-make marketing messages for you. That kind of info will inevitably find its way into the wrong hands (for money), and people will be able to professionally/electorally destroy you with it. There should be laws against phishing, tracking software, and any invasion of privacy.
If someone looks at a picture of some celebs tits on wwtdd.com (what would tyler durden do.com), its not my business—but thats exactly what its going to come to out there someday if we dont legally nip this kind of thing in the bud.

Let me add, Facebook succeeded because it could scale slowly, unlike Friendster and then MySpace which just exploded in popularity and then had huge delays in availability as the code didn’t work under huge load. Because Facebook was initially restricted first to just Harvard, then just College Kids, Zuckerberg had time to add features first, then fix performance.
Secondly, unlike Friendster and MySpace and BeBo, which also had the aforementioned performance hits, Facebook/Zuckerberg constantly added features, aimed at keeping users on the site (not dumping it for something else). Thirdly, he used the cachet of snobbery against MySpace’s downscale single Mom-ism, hot young professionals vs. aging cougar strippers, to sell the site.

That’s because they possess neither. Majority of SWPLs are “smarter than the average bear” – we’re talking 108 to 118 IQ, and no special talents. I know this type quite well from way back when (which I why I understand Obama.)
They are rather insufferable — they believe their liberal propaganda arts education makes them smarter than your engineering education, even though you have 20 IQ points on them.

Within his own social circle, he is popular and has never lacked for a girlfriend; he is described in the book as a fearless, cool-headed instigator and a natural leader. What he appears not to be interested in is status jockeying and currying favor with the “cool kids,” nor is he concerned with outward displays of his success. So for those who measure alphatude by traditional trappings such as physique, clothing, house, car, and babes, Zuckerberg just seems like a big nerd who is wasting his success.

Apocolyptic factoid about Jenn Sterger, whom Brett Favre sent nude pics (Is that qualifying yourself in the most primal way or what?……sending pics of your junk to a floozie, when she should be qualifying herself to you as a legendary athlete): Sterger was first “noticed” by Brent Musberger at a Florida State football game in 2005. The TV cameraman kept putting her on the tube thereafter. She’d show up at FSU games in outfits that showcased her (fake)tits. She became a psudeoceleb by doing so, getting interviewed by minor media outlets and the like. She was able to parlay this noteriety into having her own little talk show, being a “Jet-girl” on the Jets sidelines, and into being an object of lust for several pro-athletes. This woman’s soul would be the interstellar equivalent to the three supermassive black holes at the center of the Milky Way galaxy (our galaxy).
Here she is back in her famous “Florida State” getup:
http://sportscasm.com/2010/08/04/jenn-sterger-claims-brett-favre-sent-her-cock-pics-via-cell/jenn_sterger3/
Whats supremely interesting to me, is that she claims to have had her breast implants removed because it got her “stereotyped” (on her wikipedia page). I call bullshit. She owes her whole “career” to those implants she had when at Florida State, showing up game after game like that “rainbow-afroed-John 3:16-guy” who used to attend golf tournaments. In her own way, she’s a version of NYC’s Naked Cowboy, but she couldn’t even strum an instrument, getting famous for the noteriety of an enlarged boob job and 8.5 face.
She’s obviously butthexed out the ying yang, probably has had at least one abortion/and had breast implants. She’ll have those stage one and two breast cancer cells (with her cortisol and androgen levels being what they most certainly are), and her digit ratios, on steroids.

The whole fucking thing was about ambition and discipline, about not selling out to have a mild success, but about having the ambition to create the biggest website on the internet. That’s what the Timberlake speech at the club about the difference between Victoria Secret guy and Zuckerbro was about. That’s what the hours of programming were about, and the willingness not to sell ads too early because they had something cool were about.
The negative portrayal of Zuckerberg was all about his lack of conscientiousness.

In effect, the movie is one big case of ragging on nerds — particularly one nerd, whose life story was also changed to make him more of a nerd then he is in real life so that the strawman would be easier to, well, ridicule.
In other words, it makes SWPLs feel better about themselves to have a strawman anti-hero paraded before them to make them feel better about themselves — kind of like the negative validation of “heh, well at least I’m not like that Aspergy nerd loser Mark Zuckerberg”.
That’s the main appeal of the movie, I think.By creating a straw-man anti-hero, the average SWPL can feel better about themselves and walk away with that sam sense of smug satisfaction which typifies their class.
I’m not a fan of Facebook myself, but I do get the sense that this mass of fun-making of it stems from the need of at least some SWPLs to put the superiority complex over on a straw-man.

Maybe, but they portray Zuckerberg as being a truly pathetic character — a guy who is borderline if not full-on Asperger’s who can’t make or maintain friendships or manage a relationship with a woman. It’s basically Sorkin screaming at the top of his lungs — and with a good amount of snark — at 20-somethings saying “if you work your ass off and are ambitious as hell, you’ll have no friends and no girlfriend and you’ll be a social zero loser”. It’s an attack on the start-up culture, for sure (which is why it was compared to Wall Street, the original, which was an attack on the Wall St culture of the 80s), but not really an ad for being the force behind a start-up, really.

***Facebook is what your AOL-online profile was in 1995-1998, with a few more bells and whistles***
There is an upper limit approaching on just how many hawt’ new sites there can possibly be.
I mean we have Linkedin, Ladders, Amazon, Ebay, Yahoo, Google, Bing, YouTube (DailyMotion, Vimeo), MySpace, Facebook, various blogs, video-game sites, Match and a few other dating sites, a few adult-fuck(a 4/5)finder-sites, and the like right now. If people are really creative, how many more truly profitable web-sites can be concocted and put online reasonably cheaply (for no more than what the average garage-start-up guy can borrow), and slowly be grown to large-status mini-empires like facebook?
10 or 15 would be my guess.
At some point, people in other countries are going to be creating the big-time websites that socially serve their own kinds also. There will be a Indonesian version of MySpace, friendster, etc for that market. There will be a Chinese version of Google that performs searches that are Chicom approved, and so on.
The age of the big garage start up will probably see its eclipse at some point.
Maybe Im wrong about this, but even if I am……..maybe there are 25 new big-sites that remain to be wet-birthed by mere individuals (and not corporate-sponsored-teams). Thats a few groups of people who will get wealthy from them, employing a moderately-sized group of people who service the sites, being paid decent, not good or great, money to do so. These businesses wont employ enough people to create a second middle class or anything, or anywhere near that. Probably not even 200,000 jobs. They are the equivalent of a squeaky wheel on an 18-wheeler getting the media’s grease, but the other 17 wheels could support the truck even without that one loud wheel, it would just have to drive the speed limit.
Frankly, now that ‘big money’ capital is looking on how to cash in on the “next” big site, their teams become more likely to dream up the next web hit anyway.
Like I said, now that everyone isn’t on AmericaOnline anymore, there had to be a social site that allowed you to put up a personal profile (if your were so inclined) that enabled you to communicate without a labor-intensive phone call, signal status (a “yes, Im still alive” to your rivals, ex’s, frienemies) and whatever. MySpace, as Whiskey has noted, became trampified, so there was a warm market waiting for a classier-snobbier- version, and Zuckerberg got there first. If people knew how much of their private habits and information were released by him in exchange for money, many would probably erect a profile with some other entitity. I wonder who financed that movie? Maybe that was the point, maybe not. I know, my first instinct is cynical at this point in life—-whats in it for the other guy three-steps down the line is the reason he’s doing x, etc.

One more facebook thought as it applies to game:
People put things in their profiles that are subtley suggestive of their fuckability status to ex’s, friends-at-work, aquaintances, etc. without openly putting up a single’s ad at whatever date/fuck site. That whole “Status—Single” feature is obviously a tell, and serves a plausible-deniablilty-type-of purpose. I think many facebook profiles that are maintained by married women are sly advertisements to various alpha ex’s, like a second cane poll fishing rod rigged with a bobber sitting on the dock while you work a spinner-bait over a stump twenty yards away. You’ll often drop one reel and pick up the other if you see the bobber move. I think many a married slut probably are doing the equivalent with their facebook pages. Passive aggressive advertising, waiting on an ex to contact them.

Kevin MacDonald reviews the Jewish aspects of the movie.
john henry’s hammer
Quincy Jones is hardly black as night. He’s obviously mixed, probably more so than the average black American, who is 20% Euro.
Quincy Jones: Mr. Jones’ admixture test showed his ancestry to be 66% sub-Saharan African, 34% European, and 0% Native American. Given family stories, the music producer was surprised that he had no Native American ancestors, and shocked at the high percentage of European ancestry (the average for black Americans is 20%). His mitochondrial test -which traces the matrilineal line – connected him to the Tikar tribe, who cluster in present-day Cameroon. And apparently the Tikar people are famous for their music and artistic genius, hence no surprise given Jones’ prowess in the music industry.

@ Editor
Even if the paying for pussy itself is beta, IMO, there’s an alpha process to the date itself if done right, largely involving DHV, building sexual tension, shaved balls, and a vibrating ring (I should add that it involves having a huge cock, but maybe it works for those who don’t, too: I wouldn’t know from personal experience).
And when the hooker comes back free the next day, or goes with you the next weekend to a swingers club for free and passes your cock for another to share going ’round the outside with, you can categorize it however you want. I’ll take it even it means I’m considered an omega.
