The world is what We make it, not what I make it. The coordination problem is not trivial.
Look at our lord and savior Bill Gates saving the USA from novel Corovirus. He could only do that after amassing a fortune from being a criminally savage businessperson for decades.
- zentiggr 7y agoAgreed it's not a trivial problem. That was my point, that we need to show the cases of worst behavior often, loudly, and broadly so that people are informed and have the option to make choices. Got a bone to pick about BG, gotcha.
- glofish 7y agoThis is an excellent point. Bill Gates has money because he created a product that set back science for decades. It still hurts science today. The way Windows differentiates itself from Unix for the sole reason of not being compatible has set back society immensely. Today, after having made all this money exploiting society in general and science in particular, he is putting money back into science. Look, I get it, the damage is already done, so him putting money back we gain some back. And I also get it. If he didn't do it someone else would have. But does that absolve the sins of the individual?
