It is fairly clear that ...Your point is well taken. It is fairly clear that their actions and statements have been primarily in their best interests. Actually, that is normal. The reason why I limit my criticism of them is that you have to consider the alternatives. Gates is a highly successful tech guy and Pinker is a highly successful cognitive science guy. In my view, the future is AI, which, for me, has the potential to remove personal interests from national and international decision-making. Gates, at least, has some competence in that area, and, in the long run, that kind of knowledge is going to be far more useful than the idiotic political nonsense that we still have to put up with. Even if Gates gets richer or more famous in the process, it will probably still be worth it.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16298717917068277282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8906697713462162467.post-12176277285100074132020-08-26T19:14:10.735-04:002020-08-26T19:14:10.735-04:00I reject the faint praise given Pinker&Gates.....I reject the faint praise given Pinker&Gates..... both are dangerous if not deadly perpetrators in the global exploitation "economy" both are incompetent invaders into the complex healthcare industry.... in short ...Gates & Pinker are "toxigangsters" tipiGreenVeteran1987https://www.blogger.com/profile/07032818239409512897noreply@blogger.com
