Microsoft founder Bill Gates brushed away “crazy” conspiracy theories about himself, 5G and coronavirus vaccines during an ‘Ask Me Anything’ session on Reddit, where he promoted his new book and sung the praises of synthetic meat.
Gates fielded questions from Redditors during the online Q&A on Friday, doing his best to hawk his latest volume on climate change in the process. However, it didn’t take long before netizens pressed him on conspiracy-minded allegations that he is involved in a shadowy plot to implant microchips in unwitting vaccine recipients.
“I am innocent!” Gates protested, adding “The whole thing about 5G and microchips is pretty crazy. Why would I want to do that?”
Gates later said “fake news” and “disinformation” online is a “huge issue,” observing that “Some false information is more interesting than the truth so digital channels seem to magnify echo chambers with bad facts.”

The billionaire also took the opportunity to extol the virtues of synthetic meat, promoting it in several different replies as a “green product” and a way to reduce one’s “carbon footprint.” He has repeatedly hailed artificial meats in the past, recently suggesting that “all rich countries” ought to move to “100-percent synthetic beef.”
“You can get used to the taste difference,” Gates told an interviewer last month, in a slightly off-putting endorsement.

Addressing a question about population growth and its effect on climate change – another area where theories about Gates run rampant – the former Microsoft exec said that “fortunately,” growth slows “when countries improve health and get to middle income levels.”
“So we should help moderate population growth with aid for health, education and good governance,” he went on, forecasting that the world population would peak at 10 billion so long as world powers are “generous to the poorest countries.”
He later hinted at apocalyptic consequences if climate change is not tackled, saying “We won't be able to support a large population if it gets a lot warmer” while predicting an massive outflow of migration from areas made “unlivable” by the rising temperatures.

@That Guy why negative rating, care to explain?

Bill Gates .... the planet has been in existence for hundreds of millions of years. It has survived Asteroids, Dinosaurs and the Ice Age. He thinks humans can destroy this planet? Such is the blind arrogance of the godless people.

Also, Bill Gates ... if you're insisting on lecturing, start with your fellow rich, fat p!g$ who are the single biggest contributor to the rising pollution levels, hazardous industrial waste and contaminants from the 9 billion humans on this planet.

Majority of the World's population is poor, while handful of greedy, rich, fat-b@$tards are the ones who control majority of the world's resources and wealth.

So do us all a favor and STFU!!

I am okay to change to artificial meat 10 years after its introduction...after we have got to know the side effects on OTHER people

humans can destroy this planet

The US and Russia have enough nukes to destroy every country on the planet 30 times over.

your fellow rich, fat p!g$ who are the single biggest contributor to the rising pollution levels, hazardous industrial waste and contaminants from the 9 billion humans on this planet.

He isn't complaining loudly about it since the production of much of it was intentionally offshored to Asia starting in the 1970's to get around NIMBY issues...especially consumer-level circuit board production like for his Windows computers which is extremely toxic and pretty much banned in the West due to environmental cancer concerns.

Your comment was fake news and conspiracy theory all around.

There is a reason why the mods deleted it. Fake news is not tolerated on this forum.

First, climate change will affect life and humanity, not the planet itself, that's the problem. A lot of these articles tend to be sensational.

Second, Bill Gates is talking about rich people and rich countries. He was rich nations to move towards synthetic meat.

Third, Bill Gates actually agrees that rich nations like the US are the biggest contributors to climate change. If you watched his interviews on the subject, you'd know that.

bill gates i bet doesn't eat the crap he is promoting.

I am a vegan. I don't recommend the consumption of synthetic meat if you are already a vegetarian. But for meat eaters, well, I really don't care what meat eaters eat.

Wow. must be really rare for a Chinese to be a vegan. How do you manage that around your Chinese friends.

 

[ARMalik]

The mighty Saint Bill Gates of course lecturing others. Now let's see why would he be saying something like this - OH BECAUSE HE HAS MILLIONS OF SHARES IN SYNTHETIC MEAT PRODUCERS !!

Thank you Saint Gill gates - have you asked your kids to eat this synthetic meat??? Obviously not, the same way you have NOT VACCINATED your kids but want everyone else to get vaccinated!

Fake news is what mass media world over has been propagating on covid which is nothing but a normal flu so that idiots like gates and Bezos and Ambanis could add more billions to their networth. And that is exactly what has happened over the past few months while common people and small businesses were ruined.

I have family that died from covid-19, so shut the **** up. I will NOT have you insult their memories by saying that its a normal flu.

Take your trash opinion elsewhere.

Quite simple. They knew I was weird in childhood so they tolerate me being different.

Another good reason to doubt this scum

I didn't understand what he meant by "Synthetic meat". Is it plant product packaged as meat or is it lab-grown meat that is derived from real animal and which has been developed by the Dutch company Mosa Meat ? If it is lab-grown I agree that the technique should totally replace current animal slaughter all over the world.

He isn't complaining loudly about it since the production of much of it was intentionally offshored to Asia starting in the 1970's to get around NIMBY issues...especially consumer-level circuit board production like for his Windows computers which is extremely toxic and pretty much banned in the West due to environmental cancer concerns.

What happens to computer parts discarded in the West ?
