Greetings @lukestrokes and all the commentators who have passed by here,
The controversy is very interesting and invites you to think. Gates is Thanos or Thanos is Gates, is there evil? Perspectives on the expression of the universe, western versus eastern worldviews, heaven and hell against the reincarnation process, wow, definitely very interesting gathering, a post to philosophize.
Obviously modern fictions like the old ones have their support in reality. I was a fan of the Avengers saga. Now I have a calmer and more reflective vision in this regard and I have no doubt about Hollywood's media handling of the masses through neurolinguistic programming.
One aspect that caught my attention in the comment thread was the controversy about the existence of evil. We could argue for hours from the epistemological and logical perspective for the definition of the term and its nature. In such a way to attribute the malevolent action of Mr. Gates disguised as a Thanos type philanthropist.
Bill Gates conducts actions with noble intentions with malevolent effects. This depends on the glass with which you look at it. The pair, good and evil, share the same nature or on the contrary, behave like light, that is, evil is the absence of light and vice versa. I don't know why this brings to mind a Nazi character who excused himself during the trial on the grounds of just doing his duty, this led Hannah Arendt to write about the banality of evil, an ordinary man responsible for hundreds of thousands or millions of deaths in the concentration camps of the Second World War.
We could argue for long hours under absolutist positions of morality or relative ethics to justify the actions of man like Adolf Eischmann or a fictional titan like Thanos to pigeonhole the current actions of Bill Gates and its potential repercussions. Time will give its verdict, however, in my case every human action that attempts against life is a reflection of evil based on a diminished vision of reality. Only he who has an absolute understanding of reality can normal his course and of course no man or Titan has that ability.
