His mom was a banker and "activist" from a family of bankers, very likely part of the tribe. Also, [she looks like a yenta](https://people.com/all-about-bill-gates-parents-8624696).

I wouldn't go as far as to call him "not a real nerd" just because even being able to pitch something like DOS requires a degree of nerdiness just to be able to make a case for something like that at the time.
Nerd is a pretty low bar and wealth especially at that time was an *enabler* of nerdiness rather than a detriment to it. It wasn't cheap to keep up with the markets at the time he was growing up and computers were seen as *the thing* to try and get your kids into to if you could afford to.
I never claimed he was a notable programmer, just that I still think "nerd" isn't an unreasonable descriptor. It still takes knowledge to identify when something is undervalued and then to be able to find a market for it unless you're suggesting that even from the beginning he wasn't even the one deciding what to buy and sell which while possible is a claim I have never heard made before.
Let's just boil this down to a simple set of questions, what portion of the general populace of 1980 would understand the potential implications of a successful disk based operating system? What portion of that grouping would you consider to be "nerds"? My estimate would be nearly 100% baring those who have had it directly explained to them in the simplest terms possible.
The core of our disagreement is really just where the line for "nerd" is drawn, you seem to define it as being capable of making innovations in the tech industry with personal involvement, where as I'm drawing my line closer to the side of
"knows what a disc and an operating system are in 1980"

Yep, I believed this conspiracy for a while. It's not a coincidence that these ticks emerged just when we figured out how to genetically engineer them.

This happened to me in 2012. It's incredibly crippling. Red meat is by far the most healthy and important food for any White man. Red meat, raw milk, and eggs are all any White man needs. Take out the red meat and you're massively fucked. White meat does not have what red meat does, but red meat has everything white meat doesn't. Homeopathy has saved my life twice now from it (because I still eat red meat anyway despite what it does to my body) but it hasn't been able to remove Lyme disease, nothing can. And yes, I've tried *everything.* Anything you suggest or link I've already tried. Homeopathy, chiropractic, and acupuncture are the only three things that subdue any symptoms of Lyme for me, and eating a perfect no goyslop diet for 10+ years makes it less bad but doesn't fix anything.
I haven't tried venison enough to give a fair answer, but it absolutely happens with pork as well as beef, so I'm sure it would because most Lyme comes with an aversion to alpha-gal; a particular sugar found in all red meat which venison also has

Yes of course. Though when my Lyme started 2012 I lost 60 pounds in 3 weeks without trying with massive chronic chest pain and heart attack symptoms, then was stuck at 105 pounds for 7 years in my 20s as a 5'9" man despite eating 3000 calories a day. Cyclical keto, intermittent fasting, long fasts, short fasts, bulking up, nothing helped.
Yes, I did red meat carnivore for about 2 years after the first round of homeopathy got me 95% better. Didn't like how it made me feel but I forced my self to keep doing it anyway. I feel better now with some vegetables and fibers, despite what all the carnivore people say

Dude, you may want to get into some detox protocols. Check out some functional medicine doctors. Lyme disease is a bit of a scam and its symptoms overlap quite heavily with heavy metal and endocrine disruptor accumulation.
Not saying it will definitely cure you but remember that your body craves nutrients and you may simply not have enough of the right ones to support natural detoxification

I've done more detox protocols than you can imagine and spent over $2000 in functional medicine with every test and supplement and strategy you can think of. Whether or not "Lyme" is a scam is irrelevant; what I have is real and impossible to cure with anything you can think of. Homeopathy, chiropractic and acupuncture are the only things that have ever "worked" against easing its symptoms and allowed me to have red meat again, albeit much less often than I did before "Lyme." I also had the bullseye rash on the back of my head that my barber saw one day. I have tried every nutrient and supplement and diet in the world. None of it worked. I have also tried herbalism and even Chinese medicine, didn't work. I've studied this far more than I can express; it's exactly what lead me to see the jew and all of its lies including germ theory.

I did for about 5 years almost to a neurotic level. It did absolutely nothing. Even my B12 and D3 skyrocketed. At this point, I think functional medicine/biohacking is just another scam even if it has good intentions. We need to be studying what jews shut down and adopted themselves in israel like Germanisch Heilkunde and homeopathy, one of those two actually worked to save my life twice now. No where in nature do nutrients and vitamins come isolated in synthetic forms, and while it's true we live exposed to jewish unnatural toxins in unnatural amounts, I don't think taking jewish unnatural supplements will help at all, it certainly didn't for me
not to be the debbie doctor downer here, but my mother was diagnosed with straight up Lyme after the clear-as-day bullseye rash and all... only thing that solved it was a heavy course of antibiotics. got rid of many neurological symptoms and some of the joint ones. sometimes modern medicine is plain useful.
Have since before it even started. You can pray all you want, but eventually David had to pick up a stone. God seldom magically fixes everything for us without us doing action. The actions that worked for me were homeopathy, chiropractic and acupuncture. The next action is to get rid of the jew so we can properly study these things instead of their jewish petroleum pharmaceuticals and be actually healthy and strong in knowledge and wisdom
Read it, tried it, didn't work for me, because "antibiotics" and 99% of jewish "conventional" pharmaceuticals are worse than scams, they're intentionally harmful with no benefit. I wish I never took them.
I wonder if they're related to Epstein-Island's Ghislaine Maxwell?
Every. Last. One.
I believe this is the moment when he decided to end us all:

DOS was originally purchased as QDOS from Seattle Computer Products. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/86-DOS
Microsoft have basically never created anything, only purchased stuff from others, and bill gates doesn't know what a line of code looks like.
