Is Bill Gates a Dangerous Technocratic Psychotic?

To be honest, I’d much rather go for a few pints with Gates than Musk, Bezos or any of the other, sociopath, billionaires.

I don't really get why people hate Gates so much. He spends his fortune fighting health problems and poverty around the world and has pledged to give away his considerable fortune rather than leave it to his kids. I'd take that over the rocket lads any day.

at what point in the video does he lament the existence of the human immune system?

That is from the first Gates section, right? I turned it off after that assuming that there was something later that the OP was referring to. as expected the OP is talking pony.

of course, rich kids all benefit from their parent's connections. Just talk to anyone who was privately educated in this country...

Gates gave millions to charity, Elon musk says he is going to vote republican and he is anti Union, conditions is his factory's are not great. He's uses stupid memes twiitter is his free pr service. He's trying to get out of buying twiitter because tesla shares have fallen

Theres weird conspiracy theory's about gates. 5g chips etc these theory's are ridiculous. Billionaires are not popular as they can get away with paying very little tax by buying shares, bonds, using various complex tax evasion schemes

Since retiring gates has devoted his life to supporting his charity

He says nfts crpto coins are a all a scam. I think he, s right. They use an incredible amount of energy and they can't be used to buy anything

Most rich people give some money to charity its good pr and its can be used as a tax credit

I can't think of anyone else who gives so much to charity as bill Gates and its to charity's who fight poverty and disease in the 3rd world

You can talk about the impact of covid without being a scientist he's not like Joe Rogan telling people to take horse medicine to treat covid which makes no sense

It's easy to be cynical and say billionaires are selfish weirdos who pay no tax and have no respect for ordinary workers

Gates did not steal his ideas from jobs , early Uí Windows mouse control icons folders were invented by Xerox then apple and Windows made their own operating systems based on Windows folders mouse icons which had many differences in the menu graphics look of the menus

There were open source linux operating systems it was just at the time windows was easier to use avaidable on all IBM pcs and it had device drivers for 100s of devices printers scanners etc so it was the most successful with pc users

I think it's like Qanon weird conspiracy theory's are being pushed about gates

It's hard to find much good writeups about Zuckerberg or Facebook

Since jobs is gone gates is the most famous tech software billionaire

If you think that someone whose main interest is giving to charity's and helping to wipe out global deadly disease is dangerous

than maybe you are wrong

Always fascinated me the Flack Bill Gates gets.

Sure he's flawed , aren't we all, he wouldn't be the most exciting company to be in at a social event but to his and his ex wife's credit , they both tackled serious issues like Hunger, lack of education, Measles vaccination and poverty , initially, quietly, when it wasn't sexy and later on more publicly through their foundation.

In essence, he practically and single handedly made Philanthropy popular amongst the world's richest people, sure some may now be virtue signalling but to my mind, I care less as long as these people donate to good causes. He also correctly predicted the world would face a global pandemic and infact threw money into Covid-19 vaccination development almost immediately and at a time even the most emminent scientists and Doctors didn't no what they were dealing with.

It gets flack for his innovation and yet look at his achievements with Microsoft and indeed other innovative companies, some might even say he Saved Apple and Steve Jobs, they actually became good friends despite the bitter hostility between them early on.

He's certainly no psychopath, Determined yes, utterly focused but I wonder without him how different the world might be.

He didn't have to do the many good things he's done, could have sat on his vast wealth, sure they may be a Beneficial Taxation element to his charitable work, but actually, I don't believe that's what's motivated him.

So in my opinion, Carry on Bill and we'll done.😏

Are you aware that his wife left him citing his friendship with a man who procures young girls for paedophiles?

Also you talk about his social manner as if you knew him personally. His image as a friendly, harmless nerd is the end-result of a public relations machine.

I think by and large people have made a deliberate choice to open their minds uncritically to bureaucracy, corporations and the mass media, and to absorb whatever outputs they're given.

A lot of people knew Epstein yes and those who were close associates and friends with him have now suffered reputational damage imo.

Windows 95 dancing. Busting out those moves. It will never be forgotten. Inspiring generations of musicians and dancers and artists

Oh look, another thread where an opinion is thrown out as a question, just to make it sound as if there is a debate to be had. Opinions are fine - they’re like arseholes, we all have them and they’re useful - but phrasing them as questions doesn’t lend them any more legitimacy than they already have.

Didn’t know about that, but now I do, I think it applies to thread titles too.

edit: I like the way Andrew Marr described it:

If not, it's not from a lack of effort.

How does Gates benefit financially from spending billions on his charity?

you were referring to his work in the area of vaccines. How has he benefitted financially from that?

there was something far more innocent about the older generation wealthy, compared to the more modern ones, modern ones are far more narcissistic, and since this type of behavior is encouraged in modern life, theres something far more disturbing about their behavior
