Bill Gates is an Optimist
I think there are some very important problems that don’t get worked on naturally. That is the market does not drive the scientists, the communicators, the thinkers, the governments to do the right things. And only by paying attention to these things, and having brilliant people who care, and draw other people in can we make as much progress as we need to.
I in particular enjoyed the above quote from BillG’s February TED presentation. I think his socially unconventional approach to problem solving, if studied, might yield a patterned framework that could be applied to many situations to good end.
Highly recommend the presentation, its worth your time.
