On the one hand, I think that's great. We need more nuclear power to mitigate the climate disaster.

On the other hand, I don't trust anything Bill Gates does after he totally fucked up the U.S. education system.

what timeline are we in that bill gates is not the worst guy

Crazy times indeed. He is for sure not the lesser evil of all the billionaires but he has the best PR team of them all.

General rule of thumb - if the current UK government is in favor of something it's probably a really terrible idea.

Dismissing all ideas of those you don't like is a stupid idea and leads to you becoming dissociated from the views of the population at large but you do you I guess

At least break ideas down into categories small enough that you form a viewpoint on it to compare to theirs, as it's near impossible to find a group you agree or disagree with on everything
