I like Anand, I find his blind belief in democracy = good, not-democracy = bad - problematic. You can have a disastrous democracy and a neighbour dictator that mounts an attack and wipes your democracy off the face of the earth. It's about competency, not political ideology. Until people get it in their heads that competency and science are two fundamental tools that move humanity where most people would unambiguously want to be headed, we are going to have an endless problem. They call it corruption - it's just people who don't understand what moves the needle for them and others, resorting to moving the needle for them first, the rest maybe later. That's what these Bill Gates and every other rich person in America is about - nobody has a unifying plan to move humanity forward, so they get rich and by the time they become rich, they've made friends with a bunch of other rich people. Now people like Anand come and say hey, you know all those friends you have? They're all doing bad things and you are too, you are bad. What is rhetoric of this sort going to accomplish but separate us into us vs them even further? Until people understand how to move the needle for most people including them, they will always resort to moving the needle for them and their family first and that is where we currently are. If you want a different world - it has to come from a unifying message, not a message of blaming other people for your plight. This call for democracy is really a call for de-throning rich people and unless you want a dictator to come into power and start a civil war - this is not the rhetoric you want to promote.
