    I think from a Utilitarian approach, Bill Gates still falls into a net positive effect on the world. His foundation alone has saved millions of lives by nearly wiping out Polio and Guinea Worm, and severely reducing Polio. And you can try to argue that it isn’t him personally doing these things, but the dedicated people working at his foundation, but it’s his name on it, it’s his money funding it, and if he didn’t exist the foundation wouldn’t exist.

    But I get it. Not everyone is a Utilitarian, and he’s done a lot of shitty things that are hard to overlook.














  • Nintendo: Consistently makes the most unique game systems of all time, leaning heavily into capabilities that other developers won’t touch like motion controls, portability, dual screens, 3D capability without the need for a headset. Puts out games that, while may be reusing the same IPs, regularly adds and introduces new gameplay mechanics that are highly praised and quickly become industry standards due to how well they work.
