Good job. Definitely gates, he is more of a control freak than the rest and the dude is an insufferable madman with a very questionable accelerationist ideology and motives. The 'harvesting the biosphere' stuff really creeps me out. I think the gates funded think tanks(and research) e.g. the breakthrough institute, are far more insidious than the extraction sector funded ones like cei when it comes to shaping the public and professional discourse/ignorance.

Am I the only one who thinks that 'Bill Gates's' book is ghostwritten? I mean sure, he's smart and all, but that is the exact case scenario that ghostwriting is made for- he would pay a team of experts to brainstorm ideas then pay a professional to compile them all into a compelling book, maybe reading through it a couple times to make sure it fits his image. Like- do people think he actually sat down and spent hundreds of hours writing the thing?

The video basically explains how many of the arguments against beef are in fact wrong, or at least incomplete and misunderstood. I would like you to check it out, and maybe get a video on the subject to better understand the whole situation. Great video as always. EDIT: I have found a paper by the Johns Hopkins University entitled _A Response to Dr. Frank Mitloehner's White Paper, "Livestock's Contribution to Climate Change: Facts and Fiction"_ that criticizes the arguments and data that Dr. Mitloehner brings up in the video, but I don't really have the time to dig deep in the subject, so a video would really be helpful!!

The rich man makes a big show of pouring sack loads of gold coins into the donation, while the woman creeps in and puts a single copper piece in. However, the woman’s donation is considered more by Jesus because the huge amount the man donated was barely any of his wealth, but the woman gave everything she owned.

Referring to the % of their net worth they are giving away is inaccurate.

The following is required - - Industries that produce toxic waste & dump it in land, water and air need to shut down or detox the waste before dumping in environment. - Industries that produce green house gases need to shut down or need to treat the gases before releasing in air. If the government can do the above, climate change can be avoided.

It's the ignorance they teach about economics that causes our problems. The notion that building "wealth" is a positive thing. When it's a dog whistle for socialism. Like wealth gives you a right to socialism mailbox money. To take out loans to buy real estate to rent back to us. In the name of "building wealth", and that causes real estate shortages. It's economic ignorance. Very poor math. Houses are outpriced for the working-class to afford and no policing to help us to stop socialism. And we need policing by a Democratic nation. Not "wealth".

It would not change anything. Take the money away from the rich and give it to the rest, some years later it will be back in the billionaires bags. An example of the hypocritical world we live in is on this channel. "I love your videos so much" "Never stop" "You're so great" but still this man can't earn enough money from 280k people. People talk to much and do to little. This is why people who DO (the evil billionaires and others) will become wealthy because they invent good tools, helping people. Otherwise they would not be rich.

@@leonard0104 do you really believe billionaires are that rich because they work harder than people who work two or three jobs and are smarter than the most renown scientists and engineers on the planet? Or is it maybe a lot of initial luck, combined with having no moral qualms about exploiting everyone around you and the ability of money to acquire more money without you having to do anything? Is Bill Gates somehow a better programmer than Linus Torvalds? Not just better but billions of times better? Or did Gates just do the immoral thing and try to monopolize the market and exploit workers while Torvalds did the moral thing and made it free for everyone to use?

@@leonard0104 You know he won't earn enough? Not all can really aford regular monetary support. Adding comments is supposed to help. Reducing inrqualiru would help by reducing the imbalance in political control. We may need to see some realities and change our thinking along with it. A maximum wage or income could help. The idea that converting everything that possibly can be into a concentrated personal wealth for a few people is a good thing is a big problem. It as seen as the way things should be and needs to be. Money means merit and merit means money. A dangerous blindness comes with this. People come to think or act as if those with the most money are simply better people when it comes to just about anything: smarter, more thoughtful, have the best things in mind, most helpful, generous......... They have polls to show much of this. In short, people assume lots of good things about wealthy people without having nor demanding any evidence. The wealth is the only "evidence" they need.

Did you know, some congressman rejected a scientist's plan to create reusable rockets cuz "how about my voters/contractors that rely on billions worth of jobs contracts per launch?" (80s era, report by john stossel, NASA v SpaceX) Hmmmm, I wonder why government funded projects (with near infinite money) is inefficient.

It's as if projects with near infinite money (all you need is to stir outrage/necessity) can hike up prices without care.

@Merkury Your arguments assume the energy devoted to "work" should be directly proportional to its value and thus rewarded accordingly. Which, is a fundamental flaw in your reasoning since that's not how the world or the universe works. You can try to open a door all you want by acting parallel to it or you can act perpendicular to it and open the door using less energy. Working smarter always beats working harder. Your arguments also assume a narrow understanding of "work" and refuse to acknowledge anything that's not back breaking manual labor.

Yeah, but this is a useful opportunity to distinguish between run-of-the-mill millionaires and the billionaire class, especially given that phrases like "demonizing wealth" or, more euphemistically, "demonizing success" are often used as a cudgel any time we dare critique the status quo. Wealth alone isn't the problem, per se. It's the access that wealth buys - to legislators, international organizations, "thought leaders," media, and institutions (like universities) - that is the real problem. John Greene is certainly rich, but with a net worth less than 20 million dollars, his ability to shape laws, regulations, and public discourse through his money is far more modest than the ultra rich.

there's a difference between rich and wealthy. Rich people get large paychecks, wealthy people write the checks. Rich people have a set number to their money, and no power beyond that. Wealthy people have more money than they could ever hope to spend, and some more. Their power extends far and wide. John Green has a net worth of 17 million, a pitiful sum of money compared to the wealthy elites. His entire net worth would not be able to pay for a single one of their mansions, and definitely can't be used for any political power
