This presentation is quite interesting from a variety of perspectives. Most controversial on China versus US governments, Bill Gates basically described an experimental-led model for western democracy over the existing adversarial model of western democracy….testing in business should be applied to government…kind of obvious but I don’t see the political elite talking about the future of government.

Elon Musk argues that are too many lawyers in the US. He also points out quite a few fascinating points regarding technological change. In particular, the electric car revolution is not going to happen over night. That’s because there are 15.6 million cars sold every year while there are 256 million cars on the road currently, you should not expect cars to be completely replaced in the next 20 years by definition. Meanwhile, Bill Gates one ups Musk pretty much every single time a point is made.
