The Gates Foundation's Hypocritical Investments

With an endowment larger than all but four of the world's largest hedge funds, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is easily one of the most powerful charities in the world. According to its website, the organization "works to help all people lead healthy, productive lives." So how do the investments of the foundation's $36 billion investing arm, the Gates Foundation Trust, match up to its mission? We dug into the group's recently released 2012 tax returns to find out.

I could try, I suppose...  Somehow I doubt it will work, what with Billy all into things We are NOT...  Like eugenics.

It looks like those are investments made by the Trust, not by the Foundation.

you gotta watch that video i posted above, all the way thru.

my question is, if he took his personal experiences into his decision making process as an adult, which lead to his competitiveness, charitable giving and things like the microsoft summer camp he designed for his employees, you would think that his experiences over his mother's death would've helped shape his realization that eugenics is awful horrible stuff, that kills other fledgling geniuses, other creative people, and their moms and so forth.   

in the process of being the best at something, there is no challenge if you are the only game in town. he must be made to realize, that what he's asking for in eugenics is
the equivalent of being the only person sitting at the game board. although playing a game of solitaire may be temporarily entertaining, nothing beats having real human interaction.

beat your potential competitors by your knowledge and acumen,  don't kill them off entirely

eugenics is evil badness. and his mom is evidence, that such things as spreading diseases and illnesses amongst a population is like killing his mother, over and over again,  and since he didn't do that, he shouldn't be involved in eugenics.  he should pull up roots immediately in the entire eugenics movement, and stop investing in their insanity and if asked why, he should look them in the eye and say "for my mom."

these eugenicists need to come to grips with the reality, that you absolutely do not want to do to others, what you wouldn't want done to yourself.  they dropped the ball on that, and bill should prove his true quality as a human being by telling the eugenicists to kiss his lily white rear quarters

What is his relation to that "eugenics movement" supposed to be?

yeah but he enjoys the competition.  somehow the elitist eugenicists have got ahold of his mind in a very unhealthy way and twisted him in the wrong direction.  he knows how horrible it is to see people die from sickness and disease.  he needs to realize, that every person out there is another him, at various stages of learning, from different environmental positions.  there's not a real elite.  just variations in human understanding.  he now needs to augment his repetoire with the realization that eugenics is the exact opposite of everything he has enjoyed in his life.

just because you CAN do a thing, doesn't mean you SHOULD

observe this hacker totally ruining a battleground competition in world of warcraft



meanwhile, in the backdrop of all this, the hacker's own team mates are yelling at the hacker to stop hacking the game as he is ruining it for the rest of his team.  but the hacker ignores them and just keeps proving his superiority over the rest of his team mates and the opposing faction, by making the point of the game totally irrelevant.  there's no game if you are the only game.  the hacker might as well have been sitting at home, playing solitaire.

Helping the poor with birth control because having 6-8-10 children makes it difficult to break out of poverty isn't eugenics.  It's called responsible family planning.  I like how the author uses the intentional fallacy of assuming birth control is entirely seperate from family planning.  Or is that something we rich first world overlords are supposed to be keeping to ourselves?
