I find the latest blog entries on Polarity to be very interesting. Certainly, it is a very accurate model for fictional characters in the fantasy and cartoon genres, where every leading character is strongly polarised. I wonder though; does the polarity theory match our experience of the real world, in particular, Bill Gates?

According to the theory he must be highly polarised one way or the other, or he could not have become so successful.

One might assume he is a darkworker, having become the world's richest man as founder of a monopolist company, crushing all competition with ethically dubious actions and retarding the development of the computing industry.

On the other hand, one could argue that he is a lightworker, as his foundation is doing some excellent work improving people's lives in parts of the world where computers are irrelevant compared to basic needs like food, clean water, and medicine.

What are your thoughts?
