     Yes. And Bezos. And Tim Cook. Bill Gates seems to have
a functioning conscience, at least relatively speaking.

    I suppose the
big problem is that all of these people virtually fell into power
on a massive scale, like an emperor. Unsocialized, borderline
Aspergers teenagers suddenly became billionaires.

  I once read a story, I think in Wired, where Gates and his then
new girlfriend were interviewed. At some point, BG bragged that
he was arguably more powerful than the president. Melinda
kicked him under the table. That seemed to describe the
situation in a nutshell.
