    The idea that you owe your parents a life-debt, and in order to pay it you must cancel the death-debt that they have wrought upon material reality, is the most fascinating thing here. It's sickly self-aware. "Yes, we have annihilated the world, but we did it for you, and you owe us for your existence anyway. Now stop whining and go fix it because we've given up entirely."

    The only one of these he actually said was “be nice to nerds” and he was talking about how Netscape had assembled the data for the justice department to pursue the late 90s anti-trust charges against Microsoft.

    i'm like 80% sure ive seen the "rUlEs" of this years and years ago but it didn't have anything to do with bill gates. I think they just repackaged some dumb shit some boomer wrote, unless this is old as well.

    The subject phrase of all of these sentences are clearly stand ins for the word capitalism.

    I always hate when people say life isn't fair like it's a good thing. If we have the ability to destroy the entire planet multiple times, I think we have the ability to work towards fairness.

    Vice President with a car phone

    And here I was with delusions of grandeur dreaming that I might have a phone mobile enough to be in my car.

    This type of "motivational" nonsense can always be summarized in 3 words: Be a psychopath.

    Car phone? This is either predating the internet, or some deliberately flawed propaganda. When was this speech Bill Gates gave?
