As somebody who went to Harvard told me, the Finals Clubs are not cool. They are exclusive, but you would have to be deeply self-hating to not be a Boston Brahmin and want to get into one because you're so ambitious that it has erased every other facet of your personality so you can be an automaton whose only programmed purpose is to amass power and wealth.

In the world of the movie (which again, is not real life), the cost is that Mark Zuckerberg will never be happy. I'll admit, it's convenient to believe that the billionaire seems to have achieved what he wanted but at the cost of everything that actually matters to living a meaningful human life. And yet it may have a grain of truth.
