This isn\u2019t an overreaction to Gates\u2019 latest foray into the news cycle. It\u2019s an observation based on a long pattern of statements and behavior by the founder of Microsoft and one of the richest men who has ever lived which, were any of us normal people guilty of them, would result in our being institutionalized.<\/p>\n
Bill Gates is crazy. And he\u2019s dangerous, because he\u2019s willing to put untold sums of money toward making the insane things he believes a reality \u2013 and all of those insane things hurt people.<\/p>\n
The most recent idiocy?\u00a0Impossible Burgers for all the white people.<\/a><\/p>\n Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates recently stated that he believes \u201crich countries,\u201d such as the United States and western Europe, should switch to eating 100 percent synthetic beef.<\/p>\n In a\u00a0recent interview<\/a>\u00a0with the MIT Technology Review, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates discussed his environmental impact efforts and various green initiatives aimed at reducing global carbon emissions. One suggestion Gates proposed was for wealthy and developed nations to move entirely to synthetic beef in efforts to reduce the carbon emissions from livestock.<\/p>\n Explaining the suggestion, Gates told the MIT Tech Review:<\/p>\n For Africa and other poor countries, we\u2019ll have to use animal genetics to dramatically raise the amount of beef per emissions for them. Weirdly, the US livestock, because they\u2019re so productive, the emissions per pound of beef are dramatically less than emissions per pound in Africa. And as part of the [Bill and Melinda Gates] Foundation\u2019s work, we\u2019re taking the benefit of the African livestock, which means they can survive in heat, and\u00a0crossing in the monstrous productivity<\/a>\u00a0both on the meat side and the milk side of the elite US beef lines.<\/p>\n So no, I don\u2019t think the poorest 80 countries will be eating synthetic meat. I do think all rich countries should move to 100% synthetic beef. You can get used to the taste difference, and the claim is they\u2019re going to make it taste even better over time. Eventually, that green premium is modest enough that you can sort of change the [behavior of] people or use regulation to totally shift the demand.<\/p>\n So for meat in the middle-income-and-above countries, I do think it\u2019s possible. But it\u2019s one of those ones where, wow, you have to track it every year and see, and the politics [are challenging]. There are\u00a0all these bills<\/a>\u00a0that say it\u2019s got to be called, basically, lab garbage to be sold. They don\u2019t want us to use the beef label.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n This isn\u2019t even the scariest idea-biscuit Gates has floated.\u00a0Remember this?<\/a><\/p>\n It sounds like a wacky idea out of science-fiction \u2013 but it\u2019s funded in part by billionaire Microsoft founder Bill Gates and backed by top scientists at Harvard University.<\/p>\n The researchers believe that a fleet of specially-designed aircraft could spray sulfate particles into the lower stratosphere to cool down our planet and offset the effects of climate change.<\/p>\n A test of the technology has been proposed for this year, the\u00a0Daily Mail reports<\/a>, with the\u00a0Stratospheric Controlled Perturbation Experiment<\/a>\u00a0(SCoPEx) seeing a bag of carbonate dust released into the atmosphere 12 miles up.<\/p>\n If that experiment proves successful, the researchers will move on to releasing the dust from planes.<\/p>\n The researchers suggest that jets flying 12 miles up would complete over 60,000 missions in 15 years, starting with a fleet of eight and moving up to 100 planes.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n As bad as denying people in First World countries access to beef might be (and putting a massive industry employing more than half a million people out of business), creating an artificial Nuclear Winter is even worse.<\/p>\n More people freeze to death in extreme cold weather than die of heat-related causes when it\u2019s hot, you know.<\/p>\n And then there\u2019s the population control piece, which the Left \u2013 many if not most of whom operate on a Malthusian principle and don\u2019t actually disagree with Gates \u2013 denies he\u2019s for.<\/p>\n How you deny this is a question\u2026<\/p>\n\n
