I'm pretty sure the things Bill Gates foundation does are not about isolated public examples - they evaluate proposals based on impact, measured in lives saved, and not in heart warming individual saves. Sterile stuff like providing anti-mosquito bed nets which don't make you tear up.
- kodah 5y agoRight, providing a cheap mosquito bed is a little easier to go mass production with than being able to use drones as an emergency recovery vehicle. The latter requires the right motivation and the right (hopeless) risk profile. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation also absolutely does a lot of advertising and interviews which are aimed at winning hearts and minds about their work.
