Well I wasn't campaigning or promising one nice, elegent fix for all the worlds worries. Of coarse thats not going to happen. But I do think you are seeing a big social shift in wealthy and powerful people doing big things, and its not just names in the article here - there are many other young successful people doing the same thing.

And this isn't just me promoting tech cause I'm in tech. I was a big campaigner of Warren Buffett / Bill Gates's crusade to have billionairs around the world give up >50% of their wealth - and many did follow suite. Sure, there's going to be the lazy X-Box of PS3 video gamer or the kid who thinks he can make a living off internet poker, but I think an article like this is really cool to see how people who could live the so-called dream live, forgo those for something else.
