@MartinLewis Interesting turnaround, given how much everyone used to hate Gates back in the day.
@TimWardCam @MartinLewis I was a Gates hater, but in the last 20 years he seems to have realised that money isn't useful when you're dead, and his philanthropy has achieved some genuine wins to the world.
The others ..... not so much.

I also think that Gates is in a much more sincere league than the others. He is often blinded by his faith in technology, and has so much power for one man that it results in costly blind spots and side effects for entire populations. But I do think he means well, and he says rather smart things, his gates insider blog is usually good reading. The others, however, are just megalomaniacs, smart but in the worst way.
