I agree. It's important to criticize him. Harshly. He's the harbinger of a change whose proportions are yet to be fully understand, but it's like we're all living guinea pigs of his experiment and happy to be that.
I don't see how we can be fine with putting a self-declared mildly autistic little genius in charge of defining the nature of social interactions in the new millennium. "here's what I think relationships should be like", says such child playing with his own huge money-churning game.
