After spending several weeks trying to get a well-sourced article published about Bill Gates, the second richest man in the world, I have come to conclude that conservatives and liberals in the media treat him with kid glovesâeven while whispering about him behind his back. I am beginning to think they are afraid of offending a globalist on a mission. The renowned software developer has carved out a role for himself as a humanitarianâs humanitarian, financing projects and people with a magnitude that astonishes people. After all, he does have a big reach for a Harvard University dropout People will tell you privately he worries them. I have never met Bill Gates, but he strikes me as a secular humanist on a superhero mission. Gates seems to believe that his vision, wealth, and power can save the world from imminent destruction.
