Traditionally it's possible for nonhuman souls to enter into human incarnation in various ways. Elementals do this more often than others, but sometimes souls from the fairy realms do this, and sometimes it happens with beings from further off -- for example, planetary spirits. Demons become incarnate very rarely, but it does happen. None of these tend to live long.
As to why it happens, there are a great many reasons why it can happen: glitches in the system of incarnation, basically. As far as I can tell, it's not more common during periods of high human population -- that normally causes a lot of animal souls who would become human eventually to end up in human bodies prematurely, which is why periods of high population are also periods of greater than usual human stupidity and mass-mindedness.
The vision I described last week is a different matter. The souls in question came en masse something like six thousand years ago, and were able to make the necessary changes to allow them to incarnate in human bodies in the normal way. They came because they thought they could accomplish something here that they couldn't do in their world, or anywhere else on the sixth Cosmic plane; they failed, and since then, yeah, they've wanted to return home.
As for Zuckerberg et al., I don't think they belong to the class of spirits I have in mind. I'm guessing that they're a more ordinary class of nonhumans, which explains their lack of human feeling and their inability to relate to the needs of other human beings.
