My point was that lawyers and programmers both abstract, but in different ways. I feel like gates, as an engineer, is likely to view political frameworks and other philosophical aspects of the global system as second order to economic, demographic and military realities.

I don’t think gates would be influenced much by the ideas of Rene girard, compared to thiel who has a worldview based or at least heavily influenced by girardian principles.
