Just the fact that he explored this crazy idea says enough.

Well, well, well. Though he destroyed most of his journals "for #privacy reasons", it appears a few pages of #Zuckerberg's early plans for world domination survived.
Fascinating preview by @StevenLevy@twitter.com of his book on @Facebook@twitter.com, coming out later this month:

@EinsteinsAttic@twitter.com @murakamiwood@twitter.com @StevenLevy@twitter.com @Facebook@twitter.com "He took three pages to lay out a vision for something he called “Dark Profiles.” These would be Facebook pages for people who, whether by omission or intention, had not signed up for Facebook. "
So reassuring. Growth was always the thing, wasn't it?

- The reality is much more nuanced than what I had in mind.
- Different individuals had different agendas and different world views.
- It seems more like things coalesced after the fact rather than were initially planned.

It's not listed in the post, but we're also using React to create the UIs for our new features. We've got an interesting mix of legacy code at the verge of some major rearchitecture, and new features as a testing ground for figuring out what we want those new patterns to be.
