Something has killed enthusiasm and ambition for a better future in many of us. We did it to ourselves.
It is our own responsibility to imagine a better future and to find in ourselves the ambition and commitment to make it real. Seize the moment.

I think the mixed/cynical feelings on this are understandable given that billionaires are rarely (ever?) doing anything with a primary goal of the betterment of humanity, whatever their expensive PR may say. That leaves a lot of room for speculation as to their real motives, i.e. how they'll get a return on this investment.
