Does everybody need to speak from a position of authority? He is an influential person, seems like it's enough for the news.

  > Does everybody need to speak from a position of authority? He is an influential person, seems like it's enough for the news. Influential because he ran Microsoft. Does this mean I should accept the solution to all ills is a massive tracking apparatus forced on me through governments because Bill Gates says so? Or even that I should accept the vaccines paid for by government manufactured by Bill Gates under a system where he has no product liability? Don't these seem like reasonable questions? The fallacy of appeal to false authority is applicable here.

    I don't know why you should accept it, I don't accept it but I have zero problems with letting Bill Gates speak freely wherever they invite him.
