[QUOTE="Ken Dorney, post: 3186810, member: 76086"]An interesting article, but if one reads it you will find that Zuckerberg is clueless about history: “I think Augustus is one of the most fascinating. Basically, through a really harsh approach, he established two hundred years of world peace.” Two hundred years? Wow. Obviously he knows nothing about history. 'To attain world peace, Augustus had to make choices “that didn’t come for free, and he had to do certain things,” Zuckerberg added.' Well, again, there was no world peace. As for things not coming for free, that is a modern communist/socialist idea. Everyone has always clearly understood that nothing comes for free. Its not a new idea. "The Augustus mindset could be one reason why Zuckerberg reportedly led his company to pursue growth at all costs, and used to end some meetings by half-jokingly shouting “Domination!,” the profile says." The Roman Empire and Augustus are much like Zuckerberg and Facebook. They both peaked nearly immediately. If you ask anyone under 25 years old, few use Facebook. They only exist because the older generations still use it. Anyway, that was a fun read for a couple minutes, but I imagine Zuckerberg identifies with Augustus so well is the large ego, fabulous wealth and power....the list could go on.[/QUOTE]
