Comments by "bj0rn" (@TheLivirus) on "Innovating to zero! | Bill Gates" video.

  1. "Every bit of it was contradictory." Eh, it's an image, not a text. But if you were referring to the article I grabbed it from, please provide a few examples from this vast amount of contradictory points.

  2. You're an idiot. There's no force involved. They just provide the tools for family planning. If people don't wanna use it they don't have to. Women just rather not have 6 children if they had a choice. By increasing health and wealth they will produce less children, by choice.

  3. I assume you ment fossil fuel CO2 emissions. If atmospheric CO2 was zero, just about all life on earth would die. Anyhow, there are many answers to your question. In short the risen temperature cause other events that works as feedback loops. It can take some time before the feedback kicks in. The major one is said to be the increased amount of vapor (a strong greenhouse gas) in the atmosphere, which raise the temperature, which release more vapor, which raise the temperature even further, etc.

  4. It is the same fucking data that predicts your weather. On top of the direct measurements of temperature, you've got shrinking glaciers and entire ecosystems moving north.

  5. Since you obviously like to think of yourself as a critical thinker, keep this in mind: Critical thinking is about critizising ones own conceptions, not those of others.

  6. 04:35 It's kind of counterintuitive that vaccines, health care, and reproductive services can somehow reduce the world population. This was picked up by the conspiracy theorist think tank, and 20 min later the message was clear: Bill Gates plans on killing a billion people using hazardous vaccines. *facepalm* Or perhaps high birth rates are associated with health problems, low life expectancy, low living standards, low social status for women and low educational levels? Nah. He's the devil! ;)

  7. You're fucked in the head.

  8. So instead of trusting data that is gathered by accurate instruments and compared systematically side to side, I should trust your personal experiances that you compare based on intuition and memory? No thanks.

  9. What if I told you, that by increasing health and wealth, less people will die, not more. Only difference is that less babies are born, and this is the mothers choice, no one elses. Contraceptives does not kill, but inhibits the egg from being fertilized. Still a moron.

  10. The "MORON" says that you should take a look at the image below: earthobservatory.nasa.gov/Features/WorldOfChange/images/decadaltemp/2000-09.png That is the mean temperature anomaly 2000-2009 with the mean of 1951-1980 as reference point. Red is above, blue is below. This proves: 1. They DON'T leave out the low temperatures. 2. The tilt of the axis is accounted for. If the warming was caused by tilt, we would expect rise in one hemisphere and drop in the other, leaving the mean unaffected.

  11. I was referring to John D. Rockefeller in specific, who was a ruthless capitalist, even more so than Gates. During his later days he donated large amounts of money to charity. That's why I braught him up. I'm not saying business is interested in charity, of course not. I'm saying some individuals are, especially people who have accumulated a lot of wealth. And oh, unlike most private charity funds, the Gates Foundation is trying to be transparent, publishing annual reports on gains and spending.

  12. Eugenics is about refining the genome through selective breeding, not reducing world population through random killings/sterilizations.

  13. "If the cure is worse than the disease, and only a few win big $ without repercussions: something is wrong, right?" Correct, but it was not worse than the disease: Estimated potency of H1N1 (April – October 17, 2009): 0.00018% (5 500 out of 34 million) Chance of vaccine causing Guillain-Barre syndrome: 0.00000011% (11 out of 100 million) Chance of death from vaccine: 0.000007% (104 out of 15 million)

  14. Word. A population full of WesOrions is NOT a sustainable future hehe.

  15. I already have, and I am perfectly fertile.

  16. I'm not sure Mr. Gates is very motivated by $ anymore, he has given away $28 billion to charity through his Bill & Melinda Gates foundation, which goal is to solve the global issues that governments wont. He has signed an agreement, along with Zyckerberg and Warren Buffet, to donate at least half of his wealth to charity. He's just a successful dude who want to do good at the later days of his life, just like Rockerfeller was. He want to be remembered as more than just a capitalist.

  17. I find it rather laughable that you try to disprove global warming, and blame high temperatures on earthquakes in the same comment. Do you agree that temperatures are rising or not?

  18. No, I don't know Bill Gates have developed a new weapon. Enlighten me! Guilt management or not, he does charity, a lot of charity.

  19. It's your fault you didn't know what you were buying. If you had patience you could've waited a few months for the hype to settle, then read independent reviews, ask friends about their impressions, etc. before you made a decision. You're what I'd call a bad consumer.

  20. It's called H1N1, not "N1H1". The "spanish flu", an ancestor of the H1N1 virus, killed between 50 and 130 million people during the 1918-1920 pandemic. Whatever side effects you refer to, I'm sure they are mild in comparison. If there was a conspiracy to lower the world population, they'd be much better off creating a placebo vaccine and let the virus ravage.

  21. He talks about reducing the GROWTH of population, not reduce the current population. Moron.
