“Competition is for losers” - A talk from Peter Thiel hosted by Y combinator (https://youtu.be/3Fx5Q8xGU8k?si=3anUMopHSJ4nKk2R)

Timestamp 13:50: “If you’re a startup, and you want to get to a monopoly, start with a really small market and you take over that whole market and then you find ways to expand that market in concentric circles”

Last I checked Zuckerberg is doing precisely what Thiel taught him to and has done it with preternatural skill.

This is the standard for how you’re expected to act as a technology “leader” - which the majority of VC backed unicorn goal founders (like every FAANG founder) have been executing since day zero.

Some things are fine if done under the table, but aren’t fine if spoken out loud.

Arguably it's unacceptable either way, but only one of those ways can be evidenced in court.

From the way this article reads Zuck is being derided specifically for getting caught.

Correction: Some things are hard to prosecute if done under the table, and are not fine if spoken out loud :)

Ethics are essential in every decision, not because you can get in trouble legally, but because you are part of a society of people like you.
