Inside Bill's Brain: Decoding Bill Gates

Bill Gates is depicted in the series as being this average Joe that likes burgers, and that uses his above average intelligence to help out the ill-fortuned people of the world. So much isn't mentioned. It's unbelievable. This a show made BY Bill Gates, ABOUT Bill Gates. Beware of this method of psychological warfare. This man has over 100 billion dollars. He is more powerful and has more leverage than a vast majority of countries in Africa. He invests in the most horrible and destructive companies. He is not a philanthropist. He is a loveless philanthro-capitalist that will be brought down. This mini-series is another insult straight to our faces.

I watched this to see how Bill created global necessity to not be able to survive without Microsoft. However had absolutely no idea of what Bill has gone on to do globally for humanity and climate change. What a revelation. I did not watch this to find fuel for anger, just to hear his story. Obviously there are more episodes to come and looking forward to them. The speed of western world digital technology in the past 25 years,for most it is out of control and ! could get very political about who cares and who does not. Bill proves he truly care's and had the brain to create an empire and use this to balance fundamental urgent humanity needs across the globe. Yes it may be more gain for him, but he is definitely using his resources in a good direction. Not for war, weapons, petrol, plastic, hate but fundamental solutions to help and balance a planet that has span out of control. He should go for presidency but I am sure his brain is more important in finding global solutions for a better planet rather than gaining votes. Must watch for who believes in good and sharing their intelligence.

I didn't like the way of editing and showing us that he's a god or something ef enchanted. He has ambition and passion, that's all. He is not a god and he is not special at all i think. If you are an ambitious boy and your family have financal possibility for the best educational life and if you have a chance to lead a new investment (like coding)?, here you are you can be like Bill Gates! Ofcourse this is a real success story but please do not forget that he is a real human.

It shows that I was a fool, this guy is currently showing the garbage that is, he cares more about being known in the world, than the death of many people worldwide.

A few aspects are pretty good, particularly sections about the early days of Microsoft, but overall this is pure white wash of Bill Gates and the foundation. Any criticism of the man is kept to a bare minimum and is very brief and superficial. The documentary is more Gates worshipping and less a documentary. It comes across as an infomercial financed by Bill & Melinda themselves.

Just a few minutes into the first of this three-part series, I had to shut it off and take a walk. At that point, the viewer had watched as Gates arrived at the start of his day (without showering, apparently) at some office or other - it wasn't identified at that point but was probably the location of his foundation - and then the viewer listened to his schedule for the day being read off by a woman named Lauren Jiloty of "Gates Ventures" who then answered a question "Is he on time?" put from the filmmaker Davis Guggenheim with "He is on time, to the minute, every single meeting, without fail," and she goes on to explain that Bill "cannot buy more" of time. That it's a "limited resource." And that, in fact, "He's got the same 24 hours in a day that the rest of us have." No, really? Bill Gates can't buy more time? But he's so rich! And it doesn't get better. Honestly, it is painful to watch as other people fawn all over someone who is nothing more than just another human being, treating him as though he's some kind of god or superhuman. This film is simply another example of people assuming that because someone was able to start a company and become vastly, immorally rich, they must be geniuses on a scale in proportion to their wealth. And it's just never the case. Nobody is THAT MUCH better than the average person. Nobody is THAT MUCH smarter. There are people walking the streets whose brains could run circles around Bill Gates' brain, but they chose to do other things. Being smart doesn't necessarily mean you will make yourself rich or that you even care about making money! And too many people just cannot seem to grasp that. They buy into this narrative we are sold that is perpetuated in part by people like Gates, billionaires and the people at the top holding the power over the lives of everyone else on the planet, so that the masses won't rise up and take what's rightfully theirs. Bill gates did not personally create all of the wealth of Microsoft. He started the company but needed others. Eventually many hundreds and then many thousands of employees and he simply paid them nothing, worked them to death (you can read all about this) and took the Microsoft wealth home for himself and a few others at the very top. He cheated the rest out of their contribution. The people who needed a job to survive in this jungle of a modern world. He did not work a billion times harder. Nobody can. If Gates is so smart, how can he allow himself to become so corrupt, so immoral? So much of his success is based on chance. He was born a white male in a country where that was 90 percent of the game already. He admittedly is intelligent and perhaps creative enough to have come up with the Microsoft OS at a time when not so many others were working on projects like that, and he was very lucky. Right place, right time. And he cheated his employees, and his company broke the law, operated unfairly within his industry, but simply did what other big businesses do and fought it out in court and often lost but paid fines and moved on, the damage already done, and not much to stop the momentum of a corrupt firm like Microsoft. Gates is "smart" but there's one thing he can't seem to learn. Corruption and disgusting wealth inequality has finally got to change. But he wants his class, the 1%, to remain firmly where they are. So no, I don't like a TV series that perpetuates this myth and holds pathetic figures like Gates up as heroes, just because yes, after becoming insanely filthy rich, he's giving some of it - what he can comfortably afford - away. Gosh, what a hero.
