  • This is so obviously not true, how did it get so many upvotes? There are so many counterexamples. The only "fundamental part" of human nature is that humans are adaptable to different environments, including our shitty racist society.

    This is borderline misanthropic too, which is cringe as hell

  • he's clearly suffering from PISD

    Assuming you mean PTSD, there is not nearly enough information here to diagnose OP. Regardless of what diagnosis you, random internet person, have decided to bestow, seeing a qualified physician is a crucial part of mental health workup. Still not sure why you continue to take issue with this.

    This, what OP is going through ? That's normal. As my therapist said, she would have been far more worried if I didn't get the thoughts.

    You have not done a suicide risk assessment and don't know the character or severity of OP's suicidal ideation or other symptoms. He is not you.

    his therapist will tell him to talk to a physician

    A good therapist will, but unfortunately, this does not happen nearly as much as it should. This leads to delayed diagnosis and management of comorbid medical conditions that contribute to feelings of depression. Therapists typically don't have broader medical training outside of mental health and aren't always well versed in the many treatments for mental health disorders.

  • If it's been that long and it's still getting worse, you should see your PCP or a psychiatrist if you haven't already. There are many treatments for depression, and a doctor can help identify underlying medical causes that could be contributing.

  • Really? Show me where.

    It claims that he bragged about doing so

    The sentence after where it says that... You have ctrl f. Use it.

    that other article doesn't support that claim with any evidence that he pressured them to keep their patent, that he bragged about it, or had any say in the final decision.

    Not sure what "evidence" you want... Bill Gates said it was true himself and did multiple interviews talking about it which are not hard to find. Every article I can find online says the same story - that Oxford initially planned to open license the vaccine and then Gates pressured them to change course.

  • Literally the first search result LINK

    This appears to be just a statement of support for "narrow" patent waviers during the pandemic. This is not the same as open licensing the Oxford vaccine and calling this "backpedaling" is misleading at best.

  • This isn't Bill's action, it's Bill's inaction.

    If you had read the article, you would know that he very actively pressured Oxford not to open license the vaccine, leveraging his $750 million donation to the university for vaccine research.

  • The Gates Foundation backpedaled that stance shortly after

    can you provide a source for this?

    Their initial objection was over quality assurance

    Who is he to decide this? He is not an epidemiologist or a public health expert or a leader of a low-resource nation or even a health professional. He's a tech billionaire. This is exactly the problem.

    Many large US companies, including pharmaceutical drug retailers, directly invest in the Gates Foundation Trust, creating a massive conflict of interest which is rarely talked about.

  • While I can respect a lot of those philanthropic efforts, those should not be his decisions alone to make. That money should've been paid into taxes and distributed in agreed upon ways.

    As a capitalist, all of his solutions are capitalist. His efforts to slow climate change are primarily technological, with a focus on unproven horseshit like carbon capture rather than proven improvements like better, less car centric urban planning and reducing meat intake. He would never even consider an strategy of economic degrowth to fight climate change even though available evidence shows that that is exactly what we need.
