Bill Gates is acting like the big kid in the sandbox, who negotiates a stick of gum for a Tonka Truck by virtue of the size of his virtual empire and capital resources. Size does not matter; the development of character matters.
Gates may be the gatekeeper of the Internet but now maybe he should pass on the digital signature key of TRUST. He is excellent at recognizing value in the work of others; wonderful at synthesizing and implementing technological application in terms of historical significance; and great at signing big contracts with non-competition and exclusivity clauses.
He is a very smart dude but I think he should now enroll at Howard University and study economics and anti-trust law as well as becoming a philanthropist on the level of George Soros and Warren Buffett. At least, Warren publicly announced when he thought Berkshire Hathaway shares were definitely overvalued, and Soros donated $100,000,000 for unused, clean needles to drug users. What nice men!
Soros made a nice comment on a television show once: “Business is amoral, not immoral.” I think he was speaking about a wish couched in the circumstances of his own experience after he escaped from the Nazis when he was 14 years old.
Cheers,
