Default Bill Gates in China - Ultimate darkworker or lightworker?

Chairman Mao replaced by Chairman Gates

I'm a Mac fanatic, but even I'm impressed by Bill Gates' incredible saavy.

I'm pretty sure he's a darkworker, and he gives 'em a great name!

Do you think he does all that charity work through his foundation and gives away billions of dollars for his own benefit? How does he personally gain? (Aside from helping people)

If he's a darkworker, yes.

Nothing like a bit of good publicity and ethical brand image

Of course if he's a lightworker he earned his billions for the purpose of giving it away to causes he deems worthy.

Its hard to see how giving away billions could give any advantage other than philanthropical, he probably darkworked his way to the top then had an attack of the guilts.

I disagree. I imagine Gates is among the 98% of people that are neither darkworker nor lightworker but share traits of both.

Idolizing Gates like this must be marvelously ego-boosting for the man. I wonder what his dreams were when he was a teenager building home-made computers in his garage....did he want this? Or is this beyond what even Gates could have envisioned?

Or maybe he believes in Karma.

I remember bill saying that he works his people hard, one of his workers said that he and bezos yells at people to get the job done. Sounds darkworker to me. But since he met buffett hes gone lightworker it seems.

so what you guys think of warrent buffett?? nice old lightworker??

He's a shrewd, tough, uncompromising businessman that likes to play hardball. He's the type of guy that gets to where he wants to be because he must. I don't think he's at all evil, though. He does good stuff for himself and his community.

Maybe he just isn't either. Or maybe he started of as a darkworker and with age he saw the futility of materialism.

whatever the case may be, I think Bill Gates popularity in China has alot to say for the values the Chinese culture holds.
