Bill Gates Steps Down from Microsoft Board of Directors
Microsoft's Board of Directors (BoD) just got one more empty seat, but this time it is a big leave to the company. The co-founder of Microsoft, Bill Gates, is stepping down from the company's BoD to focus more on philanthropy. In addition to Microsoft, Mr. Gates also decided to pull from Berkshire Hathaway, so he can focus his efforts on making a better world. In his own words: "I have made the decision to step down from both of the public boards on which I serve - Microsoft and Berkshire Hathaway - to dedicate more time to philanthropic priorities including global health and development, education, and my increasing engagement in tackling climate change. The leadership at the Berkshire companies and Microsoft has never been stronger, so the time is right to take this step."

Now if MS could just permanently erase ALL memory of/references to da monkey boy, the world would be a much better place :D
"x-files music "
After all, old MS is history and the new Cloud MS is working just fine. Its a new era and Nadella's got the ship on course.
The only way bill will be fully detached from MS is to sell his stocks from nasdaq and donate to organizations that want to provide potable water plants in countries that need them, or to development of vaccines against SARS, H1N1, Covid-19 etc etc.
Even if you don't buy into every theory (which is smart), there is enough to really raise some questions. Responsible journalists should be investigating but clearly the media is keeping silent and covering it up. They pretty much glossed over his Epstein ties as much as they glossed over the evidence of Epstein's murder. Notice Weinstein wanting to avoid being Epstein'd. He knows he didn't kill himself and he knows that he knows too much.
Gates is just a shady piece of work. Course that is what a lot of these power elites are. They get big on malthusian theory and think depopulating is a noble cause and that they need to do it. They'll never line up their own family members and demand some of them make the sacrifice for the planet. They should really have just spent all their time and money investing in space travel and expanding up vs looking into ways to kill everyone here. Space programs would probably be another decade at least ahead of where they are now.
Anyway, I'll stop ranting :D
So yeah, on Earth and climate... we better make sure we secure a new place first that is habitable and easy to go to, before we torch this one completely. In that sense Musk is a visionary... he knows this, too. Its inevitable, rules and regulations won't stop this either, they will only dampen the pace at which things go bad. We've created realities and systems too big to change. Capitalism... we're diving from one crisis into another, everything is on overdrive but a big change or departure from it? Not happening... We say it ourselves 'too big to fail'... but we stop at reaching the conclusion of that idea, which means you maintain the status quo with all of its problems.
Hence, if anyone is working on a virus able to selectively kill 90% of the population, starting with the lowest IQ, I'm willing to commit all the resources at my disposal to such a goal.
On a lighter note, it's quite amusing how Bill Gates went from a teenager reportedly modifying the school system to be in a class with mostly girls, to an incredibly successful businessman to an aspiring savior of the world. Funny how life goes and ego scales linearly with contents of one's bank account.
So, simple thought or not, try to bring that to a philosophy, weighing the results of that line of thought, and suddenly you'll be making sense... cause and effect. Its interesting to think about and gets you away from just the sour outlook of 'stupidity multiplies too fast'... another thing we generally agree on. But again, this is not any different throughout history and yet the overall knowledge of humans has increased time and time again. So... explain that? Maybe there is a reason to the madness.
Regardless, we have far strayed from the topic, evidence or no.
