We coders have disdained Bill Gates since maybe the 1980s, when his BASIC insisted on keeping the GOTOs in the TSR-80. Then he created a foundation, which his divorcée Melinda took over to make #woke. What Gates has left to him, he still tends to misuse, often in the name of The Climate. (Oblig'ref to the late Mr Epst**n.) Gates isn't as evil as some of his WEF peers, but that's a very low bar. Harrumpf.
Having set that 'rumpf-stake: Gates is right on laboratory-grown meats. National Review as usual is wrong.
As Razib Khan keeps saying on X, it doesn't compete with your ribeye or wagyu. It competes with your cheeseburger, like the Impossible tried to do; and with "the TV dinner". The Impossible failed, sure. Grown meats shouldn't have the same nutrient deficiencies and chemical waste as the late Impossible. They should be more like bean burgers (which are great, if crumbly); or shiitake (also yummy).
I see the "beef it's what's for dinner" lobbyists have pushed to criminalise lab meat in Texas and Florida. And various AI slop peddlers on youtube keep raising Gates' mug because We All Know What That Means.
The agricultural cartel was last seen trying to get screwworm-infested herds into the US, and have generally been a bane to US immigration policy. That's a feature for NR these days; but never mind them. I suggest the Right not side with the cartel and the bought-off pseudoRight.
Lab Grown Meat: It's What's For The Microwave.
BACKDATE 8/27 in light of the Arabella news.
