RE: Inside Bill's Brain - Decoding Bill Gates (Netflix docu-series) : Extremely intriguing

in #tv5 years ago

I watched the part 1 - I like how Bill thinks, coming up with efficient solutions that can be implemented easily, like with that sanitation problem which is such an obvious one in poor countries that it makes me think how were we so ignorant not to address it sooner. Better sooner than later though, hopefully the solutions spread and improve conditions so that shit doesn't flow into the same sources where drinking water comes from.

Sort:  

some of the toilets that the engineers were coming up with cost something crazy like $50,000 to manufacture and I was thinking probably like Bill was.... something along the lines of "guys, you are missing the point, this toilet isn't for billionaires like me"

Apparently the big (ish) sewage processing plant has already been implemented to the tune of 1.5 million, which isn't bad considering that the infrastructure going under these villages and what not would probably cost dramatically more.

Agree with your "better late than never" statement, for sure.
