Is it so difficult to believe that that was a joke?
I can see myself making that sort of joke in person, but after seeing what's happened to Zuckerburg, I would treat the internet as a press conference.
Zuckerburg has been described as socially awkward more times than he's been described -- you can't be sure that he wasn't just going too far with a joke. That's very common for the stereotypical logical type -- doubly when he's talking to a friend that would be fine with the joke.
But suppose it were not a joke. This guy has changed the world forever in an incredibly short period of time. I'd be surprised if he didn't change his philosophy somewhat, if not drastically.
Few people have to adjust to being one of the most influential human beings in the world, especially in their mid-twenties.
