>there was never an attempt at educating the africans

There were attempts at educating them, they just never fucking worked. Christian missionaries go there a couple times a year to educate the kids and it has never had any effect. Books were donated and schools were founded and it just never works.
They're just too dumb to progress. Every civilization has evolved in some way except for niggers, and don't blame that on slavery or some shit. The slaves that were brought to America were sold to Americans by AFRICAN slave traders who enslave their own people. It's thanks to slavery that black people can now roam around the US like it's their home. Meanwhile Africans still live in mud huts and bathe in cow piss.

If it were me I'd just let them starve, if they can't survive as a civilization, they should just die.

Well if you want to "give it away to Africa", you'll do a whole lot more good actually going there and investing it in the economy than just throwing it at a charity and patting yourself on the back. If you want to help them, use them. Build schools using locally-sourced labor. Do anything with locally-sourced labor and materials. Create reasons for them to function instead of just "giving" it to them. I cannot stress that enough.

I'd invest in non-oil energy research.

It'd help everyone.
Except the saudis and the terrorists, they'd be fucked if we had no reason to be in the middle east any more.
>>
>>46811051

Set up ~30-35 research foundations with $1 to $2 bln each as seed where very little of the principle is consumed but the interest is spent and leveraged to pull in donations & grants. Figure that will eat ~$45-$50 bln. Primarily dedicated to fundamental science (alt energy, sustainable resource management, etc.) with emphasis on generating several dozen PhDs every year through each foundation once they really get up to speed.

It would take ~$10 bln seed to capture a couple of resource-rich asteroids/comets that are in near-Earth orbit. Bring those into safe Earth orbits and lease off mining, especially crush some of the rare metal markets (gold, palladium, etc.) to generate cheaper products reliant on those limiting factors.

All the patents and lease revenue from above gets folded back into these projects to keep them sustainable for at least 3-5 decades.

Still have ~$15-20 bln left for setting up my entire family on various trust funds and such for at least 3 or 4 generations.

Personally, less than ~$10 million would set me up for the remainder of my life with quite some surplus left over. I live lean and simple, so a small sustainable homestead with cutting edge tech. I'd find a good, stable location. Since Japan is experiencing a population crash, it would be a top candidate country where I could buy a small village that's about abandoned and do some interesting things. Certainly other options in that regard; just an example. Recently watched an interesting special where a small town in Japan that had about 2000 people 20 years ago has only three people now in their 80s; it's a deserted ghost town now in the countryside with numerous properties that have no owners anymore.

I've had a strong interest in connecting disadvantaged kids in Hawaii with advanced education and opportunities. Probably fold that into a Japan connection if I went in that direction, especially pushing environmental and oceanic science along with space and engineering.

Tbh, I think it's stupid to invest money in Africa. Why? Because usually societies don't develop because of massive external help, but mostly by themselves. I mean, look at Iraq, which was supposed to become democratic after the US ousted Saddam's regime from power. Despite all the assistance and money the US provided to Iraq to develop a democracy, it failed miserably. If there's no will to have a democracy on the part of the Iraqis, it will never work.

Same for Africa. You can throw how much money you want at it, but if the Africans don't have the same mentality which lead to Western development, they won't magically solve their problems.

So, I see what Bill Gates does as a typical act of charity rich people do because they feel guilty of being rich and somehow they think they have to publicly show how their fortune is used to help the shittiest places on earth. It also makes them look cool and heroic when they drink water made from poop, at the end of a high-tech machine.

Not to mention the publicity you get with this and the tax deductions.

You're kinda wrong about that.

Mostly, societies have developed because of massive external influence. Well, mostly it was conquest by an empire that imposed it's progress and customs, or trade partnerships and political deals... but most of the shit was external.

Of course, the military expense was way bigger than the money spent on assisting Iraq. What I'm saying is that despite all US efforts for Iraq to turn into a stable democracy, it turned into a no man's land divided by tribal war. It just shows how limited is US understanding of how other cultures work.

>>46813876
>Mostly, societies have developed because of massive external influence. Well, mostly it was conquest by an empire that imposed it's progress and customs, or trade partnerships and political deals... but most of the shit was external.

Aid is not the same as conquest. Of course, colonialism changed a lot of shit in occupied countries, but external aid is not really colonialism. You don't whip the shit out of them to build infrastructure. Fear is obviously a much stronger motivation than charity.

So, I think my reasoning was right, since I said "usually societies don't develop because of massive external help", so I was referring to help (charity), not conquest or any other type of external influence exerted by force.

Buy houses in New York, Paris, London, the South of France, Amsterdam, Mexico, and other destinations around the US (perhaps Asia as well)

With the remaining 70 billion I'd poach the best developers from video game studios and commission them to make my dream games. I'd pay them for the work they did on it, and when selling the game if it goes past breaking even for what I commissioned it for I'd split the profits between them.

>What I'm saying is that despite all US efforts for Iraq to turn into a stable democracy

and those efforts were...

>it turned into a no man's land divided by tribal war. It just shows how limited is US understanding of how other cultures work

You're reading whatever you want into Iraq's circumstance. Imagine if the US invaded Russia and Finland tomorrow; even if they leave behind a single state, Fins will be angry about not having their own sovereign identity. Would we then argue the new democracy is broken because there's something about heir culture that's broken? No, that would be retarded.

Kill Stallman, stablish a charismatic leader in FSF, bribe Redhat to improve the Linux in desktop experience, and kill pointless distros like Slackware or Crux.
>>
>>46815845
That's not a good example. Finland is already a democracy, and it's not a tribal society like Iraq.

I don't see how USA invading Russia would make Russia either more or less democratic.

What was your point? My point was that you need a certain mentality in a population for democracy to work. Democracy is not really a universal mindset, that's really your Western belief. For other peoples, caste systems, tribal systems, hierarchical systems make more sense, especially when it's coupled with monoteistic religious beliefs.

I certainly wouldn't fund massive circumcision campaigns in Africa based on poorly constructed and poorly carried out studies.

I wouldn't ignore new research pointing ore heavily than ever towards function of langerhan's cells as HIV vectors, being a fundamentally misunderstood area.

I wouldn't bank entirely on genital cutting rather than something that actually achieves meaningful change.

Probably because I have a foreskin though, and don't have a subconscious desire to cut others so they have the same deficit as me.

My Finland thing was just an example of why democracy failed (not entirely as badly as you suggest) because of misunderstanding the nuances of peoples' identities. Just because Fins love in a democracy today doesn't mean as long as its a democracy they'll be willing to accept the government.

I would then draw your attention to India, the biggest clusterfuck of tribalism on Earth as well as the largest secular democracy for more than half a century now.

All of the things I want wouldn't even add up to a couple million. I have no clue what I'd do with a billion dollars, let alone 80 billion.

It would be enough money to open your own fab, license whatever tech you wanted, and start producing chips for yourself. It would be pretty cool having your own customized silicon inside of your PC.
Thats enough money to basically make any research project a reality, no matter how insane it was. You can nearly fund a complete organization like NASA for a decade. You could personally finance the exploration of all Earth's oceans. You could make Deus Ex style prosthetic limbs a reality.

Well India is actually a good example of how strong colonial influence made them follow Western models (especially British).

I suppose I would build a house, though I have no idea where. It would be a fairly small and compact house with two floors and a basement, inconspicuous looking with heavy security and some hidden rooms. A mansion is all fun and games until you have to clean the fucking thing, and I'm not going to have hired cleaners running around in my home.

I would amass a huge collection of anime and anime figures and so forth (so the same thing I'm doing now, only more so), and buy the usual stuff like computers and A/V equipment.

That's about all I can think of. Sure, there's lots of grand scale things that could be done with $80 billion dollars, but I don't have the connections and expertise for any of it.

buy a superyacht as a second home to my newly purchased home in a secluded island community.

Hire servants to take care of all the unpleasentness of living on a secluded island with a only a superyacht as transportation.

I would definately seek out an island that is remote enough that you wouldnt be able to hitch a ride their without your own boat. but neighbors aren't really an issue, especially if they throw island parties.

Most of my money would be tied up with a small group of investors with my personal goals for humanitarian and technological development in mind.

touring the world in my own yacht ran by my hired crew and security team would be awesome, but I dont have the business sense to keep up with the hustle and bustle that is big business. my investors would be doing all the moving and shaking on my behalf
