RE: 'Dollar' Bill Gates Explains Why Steemians are Murderers And Why We Should All Trust His Friends More Instead Of Each Other.
Possibly, yes. There are comments in the Reddit comment area for the AMA that say words to the effect of 'Oh, it would be hilarious if people accuse Bill of being a shill for xyz' - with the assertion being that he has so much money that he doesn't need to shill for anyone.. They miss though, the reality that money is not the ultimate form of wealth or power. Those with the most money often seem to seek control. They use money to control other people and if they have more effective ways of doing that than using money then they will use them.
"Those with the most money often seem to seek control." Of course. Power is addictive. If he sees an opportunity in something to be more powerful, he will take it. Or maybe not even for him specifically but for an idea. If talking crap about cryptos/BTC aligns with the overall agenda these people have, he will jump in and help.
Also, they want to bank the unbanked. That's a lot of people. On the surface, it's full charity but if you think about it, that's a big investment with an insane ROI potential.
Plus, I rarely see super rich people saying "Oh, I don't need more money."
Most of us share an 'inheritance' of unhealed and unconscious feelings/emotions. These are 'the unconscious self' to a large degree. Much of these feelings are rage, terror, panic, fear and guilt. The net result of this being that many people who appear 'intelligent' are actually driven by aspects of themselves that they don't even know exist and thus their logic is broken, but it all occurs in their own blindspots. Since the societal investment in continuing to deny everything I have just said is so strong, they tend to congregate and even build entire nations on the unspoken agreement to deny how they really feel - hence 'manners' and many other forms of social control.
I feel this is a major aspect of the causation of all of this dysfunction, we can all heal ourselves and this is the most we can do.
