He invented it, but was never actually on it. What you are hearing is an old Dictaphone cylinder recording he made of that parable. That's how ahead of his time he was. Someone read a book where he had documented his envisioned Facebook and because it was such a rare & scarce edition, most had never heard of it, let alone read it. In that book he even changed the name to Meta near the end of his book, because he knew that would be better received. Was the only aspect he got totally wrong.

And now you know the rest of the story. 🙂

Black fire ants were introduced into the US in 1918.

The red fire ants were introduced into the US in 1930.

Abraham Lincoln said so in a Facebook post.
