 No thanks. I started watching “inside bills brain” a few years ago, and just couldn’t do it 

It was like he was just soooooo increadible. A god if you will. It stank of BS. This was pre-covid as well. 

At the time I was angry with myself, as I thought I was struggling with the “compare and despair” type psychology. I thought I was jealous. Hence I couldn’t watch it 

Now I reflect, it was intuition telling me loud and clear that this man was not to be trusted. It was just all too good to be true 

The very idea of a philanthropist, who doesn’t just give to those who needs, but benefits on the back-end with equity positions, political influence, tax loopholes, etc etc, is more akin to a nefarious devil than god

Watch what they do, not what they say
