Back in a better day, when Bill Gates was the most-admired person in the world, we have this interview. It's a must-see for anyone who wants to know the real Bill Gates, a must-see for all those who are practicing cancel culture against him. You cannot listened to this video without realizing Bill Gates has a heart of gold. Go to the 7:30 mark, and see his humility, despite all his riches. Gates has given away maybe $100 billion. Back then, he was said to be the greatest philanthropist in all history, a man who achieved insane wealth just to retire and give it all away. Those were better times, times when good people were seen for their goodness, times when they weren't demonized and turned into something creepy evil. Oh, and did I mention he took on the world's best chess player, Magnus Carlsen, the so-called Mozart of Chess? Yes, right here in this interview. See, back then, Gates was not only #1 on the list of the most-admired, but #1 on the list of those considered most-intelligent. Since Magnus Carlsen was also on the list, they figured they'd match them in a chess showdown. If you know chess, and you follow their moves on this video, you will see Gates played well enough. But, it was bullet-speed chess. Gates had two minutes to make all his moves. Carlsen had but 30 seconds. From best I can tell, they didn't script the moves for Magnus to win, but who knows. From what I see, Magnus simply knew the mind of someone playing speed chess, and calculated what they would fall for. Magnus checkmated him in nine moves, needing only like 12 of his 30 seconds to accomplish the feat. And Gates? He was a very gracious loser.
