Zuckerberg Expanding His Hawaii Compound. Part of It Sits Atop a Burial Ground (wired.com)

The property atop a burial ground is a staple for horror movies and books including Spielberg’s Poltergeist.

The core lesson from these stories is that building your dream home atop a burial ground almost certainly results in hauntings, ghosts, apparitions evil spirits and finally the entire property being sucked into a giant vortex.

So I’d advise Zuck to step cautiously and look out for the typical signs such as chairs stacking themselves up or sliding across the kitchen whilst your back is turned.


This is a feature, not a bug: he's after their phantasmal identifying information (PII) and thus far has been unable to just purchase the Akashic Records. Better-targeted ads are on the way in the afterlife!


The Zuckerbot needs a quite, remote place to hang his skin to dry, or to plot whatever supervillain-y plots the guy is plotting. Probably Metaverse 2.0! With Superintelligence!! And why to tech billionaires all aim to look so much like the evil adversaries from James Bond movies?

What you call useless may be the thing that elicits a human response such as empathy in another, more well-rounded (or perhaps neurotypical) person.


But how does Julian Ako's feelings create value for the shareholders!


Even I, who very often signs out immediatly, on seeing certain types of prose, get the down voting.....as It's a big world, and the internet has multiple other naratives, and off buttons. The other fact is that Hawaii'n/polyniesian cultures do have some lessons and examples of alternative approaches to bieng human,subtleties all to easy to dismiss, but that are worthy of carefull consideration.
