What does someone’s personal life have to do with climate change or advocacy? I’m genuinely confused. If you aren’t happily married, you shouldn’t be giving to charity or contributing to promote causes you care about?
DP.
Bill has demanded a global platform by throwing money around. He acts like he is an expert on myriad topics and relies on his credibility to be the moral authority on complex issues.
Well, he’s just a kinky rich guy. He’s not the nice scientific expert he wants the world to believe he is.
That still isn't an explanation for why his affairs invalidate his scientific expertise.
Well, I don’t think he ever had any scientific expertise on public health, pandemics, malaria, etc.
Tech guy doesn’t mean medical doctor or scientist.
Everyone has an opinion on global warming, so I’ll let that one slide.
Like most family foundation leaders, he bought a platform and demanded respect. He used the platform to lecture oftentimes using morality as a touch point. And it turns out he has the morals of an alley cat.
The dots connect. If you want to continue to keep him on a pedestal as a good guy medical expert, go for it.
Gates is hardly a tech guy as well. What he is is a very astute and ruthless business man. Money buys access and influence and he has it. That being said there’s no crime in wealth accumulation or being a prick. The divorce and revelations to come may sting his ego a tad but he is not going to lose one iota of the sway he holds over the political class.

You can be both. Of all the great men and women across the ages that you admire, PP, I'm sure there are some with private lives that would not bear scrutiny...

Someone who is sexually attracted to teenagers is not a pedophile. Pedophiles are people who are attracted to children who have not yet gone through puberty and have no physical attributes of sexually mature person. A pedophile would not necessarily be attracted to a teenager who just looks like a younger adult, but not an actual child.
If you engage in acts with women who are underage, you will considered a sex offender. If found guilty you will register as a sex offender.
Yes PP, that’s true. However, sex offender does not equal pedophile. Former prosecutor here who has prosecuted sex offenses committed by pedophiles against prepubescent children, and by nonpedophiles against postpubescent underage teenagers and adults.
I’m extensively trained in this area and I am therefore always deeply troubled by this habit of so many lay people to equate all sexual interest or activity with underage age of consent teens with pedophilia. It’s very troubling, especially if you consider that the legal age of consent from one state to another ranges from 16-18, so clearly many legislatures have grasped that sexually mature young females and males are not the same as their ten years younger counterparts. Also the psychology involved in pedophilia (a syndrome, not a crime - unless acted on) is such that most pedophiles struggle to muster sexual interest in postpubescent late teens or any age sexually mature women or men.
So please, words matter, their definitions matter, don’t conflate ephebophilia (sexual interest directed primarily at late teens) with pedophilia. Very different things.
You really are obsessed with this. The thread is about Bill Gates divorce and affairs.
NP, but I think it's always good to correct people about important distinctions like these. They ARE important. I know too many people who also make that assumption that sex offenses against any minor is pedophilia, but it actually hurts prevention and prosecutions to amalgamate the two.

The fact that someone is rich doesn’t mean they know what they’re talking about. I respect Bill Gates’ opinion on software and wealth accumulation. Anything else, he’s just some guy with an opinion.

Wanting to enhance healthcare and reduce child poverty is not asymmetrical to wanting to sleep outside of your marriage.

DP. What I read is that he has scientific "advisors" that he kept on payroll. One was mixed up with Epstein.
Yes, he has scientific expertise by proxy. And his affairs don't invalidate that.

And it sounds like their dad is...a pervert that might not have done something illegal or a pervert that has likely done something that he should end up in jail for.
And we know what happens to some perverts in prison! If he is that kind of pervert, I hope that's where he ends up. In a prison, and all that comes right after.
All negotiable in the divorce.
Maybe he will stick with $10M per kid, but she will leave them more.

Hello No. For years, they were boasting themselves as a great couple by donating $36 billions to charity and making us feel bad.
Now, it's payback time.
No no no ..... the billions they gave to their effective foundation made me feel good not bad. Like one PP, i remember when Bill was the millennial anti Christ during the antitrust trial of the century in the late 90s and early zeros . He screwed over so many young tech entrepreneurs by feigning interest in all the exciting possibilities then bought up their IP under false pretenses and let it rot (or bundled some minimal Inferior version) ...he got lucky with IP from IBM when they did not see the value of PCs and then used a monopoly in hard ware to create a monopoly in soft ware. He played hard hard ball with Apple who have the last laugh now, but they are arguably even worse at this point. As a PP noted, he was widely despised when his marriage to Melinda and gold standard level philanthropy totally revamped his image.
We are all only on this earth for a short while a s it is commendable that they used their time together, and their mega wealth, so constructively. I hope they use their time apart constructively as well. There do not appear to be any underage victims, but if there are, heaven help him and them.
