At first, I thought this was a joke. I agree that Bill Gates’ action and legacy should be questioned, but Microsoft is a huge institution, and swearing off a behemoth like them over the alleged associations of a founder is a purity spiral that will leave you alone in the woods.
A Purity Spiral? What do you mean by that? And yes, it’s not quite a joke, but meant tongue in cheek. It’s not a laughing matter, but I really am curious how as rational people, we will deal with all the accusations, misinformation, disinformation and moralizing and demonizing that will come about because of this scandal. It seemed like the title was a good way to engage with people as my tamer stuff doesn’t seem to be hitting quite right.
I think this is an important topic, and does have ramifications for people trying to deal rationally with such an emotionally loaded situation. Plus the billions of dollars at stake mean this is sure to...what? Hushed up quickly to spare peoples reputations, or smeared across every media outlet for months to come? How rationally will people deal with this developing story?
