I cannot imagine being Bill's friend. I get the feeling this is the only thing this guy would ever talk about.
"Hey, Bill, want a beer?"
"I don't think that would fit into my plans to cure the world's diseases."
"Oh. Hey, do you know what this Java programmer said to me the other day?"
"I'm not sure that's really appropriate to discuss, given my other commitments."
He might be giving lots of money compared to most billionaires and me might successfully buy a pleasant historical picture of himself next century, but it'd be fantastic if he talked about something else for a change.

- general_failure 13y agoTake one guess as to how how successful people become successful. Hint: they are completely consumed by the problem and won't stop until it's solved.
- k-mcgrady 13y agoThis is an article in a newspaper. What did you expect him to talk about?? It's something he's passionate about and the only reason he is in the newspaper is to publicise it. If you want to see other things he's interested in check out his blog[1] (The Gates Notes). He does posts on books he's reading (not all related to disease) and reviews them among other things.
