He's very odd. It's a wonder people don't remark on that more often. And Zuckerberg looks like an android. Something about those guys when they get up into that stratosphere, it makes them weird. I guess I might make an exception for Warren Buffet and Ted Turner, but generally speaking, I don't think they handle being rich that well. Of course, we're all ten times as critical of them as we are of anyone else.

As a teacher I would put them in the "special" end of the spectrum. Some who are very bright have deficiencies in other areas. I had to take classes when I became a teacher that taught us how to teach those who are "special/gifted".

That portrayals of these high tech billionaire types in movies have picked up on that. For example, in Netflix’s The Lincoln Lawyer, the lawyer (lead) defends a ceo of a game company who is on trial for shooting his wife and her lover when he walked in on them. You’d have to see it to understand how creepy weird this character is, but it shows a modern archetype is evolving.

Re Zuckerberg, how that guy even made it to adulthood with a laugh like his is a mystery to me.
