None of the 10 questions listed is "tough", and at least one (out of ten, so 10%) is of tabloid level: "What happens when the two of you disagree" -- the answer includes the nugget that there's a sculpture in front of their house, of two birds looking ahead in the same direction. Isn't that something. If one doesn't like the idea of Internet voting or answering all questions, then let them hold a press conference with real journalists. But this is not it; this is nothing; this is a show with pictures of the couple laughing and showing a serious face in front of poor people; this is just marketing. An interesting question would be, how do you justify speciesism[1]. When they describe how they're "optimists" and how the world is getting "better", they're obviously only talking about humans. The world is getting much much worse for every species of living things, except (some) humans, so the only way to consider that the world is indeed getting better in general is to consider that humans are so superior to any other living thing that any amount of suffering / extinction of other species is more than offset by the marginal utility we get out of it. If you're religious, maybe your religion offers a way to accept that (depending on the religion). But if, like the Gates (or me), you're atheists, how does this work exactly?
