I haven't finished watching it yet, only the second episode. So just my thoughts on the first two episodes. The following text ideas are completely unorganized, expressed in the way of stream of consciousness.
Think about why Gates and his wife agreed to make this film? It must be helpful to what they are doing now. He himself is not lacking in popularity, but the projects their funds are working on need to be promoted. Because relative to the goals of those projects, the resources they can control are quite limited. Taking tens of billions of money to solve some global problems is equivalent to letting me start with 10 yuan and make a revenue of 1 million at the end of the year. business to come. So this documentary, for their foundation, Netflix and the general audience, is a win-win framework.
Then asked, why did Gates engage in this fund? Then why does this fund engage in these impossible projects? From the information I received in this film, he is a person who likes to solve problems by hand. It can be seen that the more constraints and complex problems a problem has, the more excited he is. Programming is the process of inputting information, standardizing conditions to process the information, and then obtaining the required output. His brain was happiest in establishing this process. Only these global problems are complex enough, the solution cycle is very long, and no one else is doing it, so that his brain can always be fully loaded. He himself said that what he is most afraid of is that his mind will not turn.
There is a group of people who are excited about burning the brain. They represent the group of people who are most responsible for selecting problems and have the most restrictions.
So I think the title is good. On the surface, it seems to be about charitable projects, IT business history and the world's richest man, but it is actually about the basic underlying needs of a human brain, which is to be used. Gates' brain is fortunate to have the right time and place to allow it to focus on solving this underlying need for a long time.
