>>13474266>i guess that also explains why he isn't using his vast fortune to found new universities likes the dukes, carnegies, mellons, yerkeses and stanfords of the previous robber baron eraI think Carnegie didn't even have high school, and Rockefeller dropped out of school after like the first week. Point is if someone did finish school has no impact on his decision if he's going to found a university or not.
However, the time of those barons is long passed, and the infrastructure is already there. There is no place for that these days, so Bill Gates invests in already established unis, like a few billions each year. I didn't even think I was going to defend a fucking billionaire on mongolian carpet weaving forums when I woke up this morning, but fuck it
