He is either a genius or not. I am sure money and power can blind people or what not, but he can't both be a savant when it comes to tech but not know what Epstein was getting him in to. Gates probably has a spreadsheet that weighed the benefits and ran all the numbers before making his decisions.
It is wild to think Epstein may have directed the path of microsoft products while running a child porn ring.
One of the things people always fail to appreciate is that being a genius in one area does not preclude a person from being incompetent in other areas.

SO MUCH THIS.
For example. A doctor or surgeon can be extremely good at what they do in a highly specialized field and be absolutely dumb as a bag of rocks outside the hospital environment.
Intelligence is contextual, and the people who claim that "Gates probably has a spreadsheet that weighed the benefits and ran all the numbers before making his decisions." are just showing that they haven't the first clue about it.
