>Other billionaires are working on some of the problems on your list, too, if that makes you feel better. The most prominent one being Bill Gates. He's working on the "we lose millions a year to disease" portion of your list. Do you hate on Bill Gates because he isn't solving world peace ("fighting wars" on your list)? Relying on the goodwill of billionaires is a problem. >We need to push forward now to have a chance. We need to get our house in order now to have a chance. I don't know how that isn't obvious.

You can and should do multiple things at once, to make sure all bases are covered. Focusing on one thing solely doesn't necessarily make it even faster to solve due to diminishing returns. You can argue against any action, any person does that you should be helping the poor and hungry instead --- or build sustainable energy. Are you constantly helping the poor, diseased and the hungry? 24/7 of your time?

> Relying on the goodwill of billionaires is a problem. Isn't that part of my point? You're expecting billionaires to spend their money on what you think is most important. I'm not.
