I was gonna say &quot;Autism&quot; lol. I thought&#x27;s what the title was at first. But more importantly, did you see that video with his Wife--dude this guy is practically on the spectrum. Listen to the last words that come out of his mouth and how awkward it was.<p>&quot;She [his daughter] and everyone in her generation really should be able to live much better lives than we can in all these ways. And I hope that--not just our child--everyone in our community has an opportunity to go on and have an even bigger impact in the world...[pause, awkward learned grin, as if he just said something witty and profound] I think she&#x27;ll get there.&quot;<p>Where &quot;there&quot; is unbeknownst to me, but Zuck sure seems to be proud of his witticism. For me though, i see right through the campiness for what it truly is: Zuck trying so hard to be appealing as a person (socially) while also being a thought-leader of sorts, but just missing the mark, and as a result making him look like a phony. Acting things out is fine, but if it can&#x27;t be easily believed, it usually means the actor doesn&#x27;t believe it, which usually means their heart isn&#x27;t in it. I don&#x27;t buy that Zuck&#x27;s heart is really in it, in short.
