Five minute video interview here.

Stumbled across this randomly today, and tbh I'm not sure it's well fleshed out by this short video. However, I am curious to see what everyone else thinks on the topic. The floor is open.

I wander if Bill Gates befitted from capitalism?

Time Immemorial
Yea I love the irony of this.

But the video has him holding a black kid; he can't be a bad guy.

He loves black babies, he spends billions in Africa trying to get them to stop making babies, more irony.

Who the Gates?

Is there a central thesis in the video? I don't think I identified a central idea that I can endorse or criticize.

That said, knocking Gates's argument due to his success is faulty logic. I wish I were surprised that I have to say that explicitly. And TI's gross misunderstanding of funding to Africa might be overt trolling.

I read he donated like 80% of his wealth and earns $1 a year, I'm currently looking for a good link to back this up............ reading

He's alright. At least he isn't pretending to be an island while lecturing the lower class for entitlement.

If I had $30-$40 billion dollars to my name, I would definitely donate 80% of it.

I only need $10 billion to keep up investments and revenue.
