   Is Bill Gates the least interesting major tech founder because he has consultants writing all his opinions for him or is he really that lacking?

     @judgedread He's a vessel. I sat next to him and Melinda at dinner once and dealt with people in his regular orbit. His communication style has only a handful of modes
     
     1. "Here's my presentation"
     2. "Do what I say and don't ask questions"
     3. "I don't like this" - at which point he stops talking and stares uncomfortably, or walks away
     
     When pressed, he says, "It's all very technical, you wouldn't be interested / able to keep up." Smart guys then take him up on this, so he defers to #3
     
     My theory? He knows that he is an imposter and is full of self-loathing

     @JoshuaSlocum @judgedread Nobody likes or respects him, but they have to pretend that they do. Literally a man with no friends

     @KarlDahl @judgedread this tracks 100% and actually explains quite a lot
