          It doesn’t take much for it to happen though. They could change their license agreement with users from one day to the next.

      Do you want to live in a world where there’s brain chips, or one where one of the companies making brain chips is owned by Gabe?

      There are legitimate uses for this. People with neurological conditions, spinal injuries, etc. Would I sign up for this? Now? No. Am I willing to say the same in 30 years? I can’t give a solid answer on that.

      I think over the last 20 years enough evidence came up to support the idea that he is indeed a decent guy.

      There is no such thing as a good (or likeable) billionaire. Forbes says Newell has a net worth of $9.5 billion US dollars. Imagine all the good he could do with that money (with regards to hunger, poverty, access to medicine, education) but instead he uses it to do stupid shit like this.

      As far as I know he’s not a Nazi like Leon so he’s got that going for him I guess.

      Sadly i’d say both can be true at once, though there are less red flags that with Elno
