I haven't listened to his theories but it should be noted that, in contrast, our hero Bill Gates wrote a book titled "The Speed of Thought" (circa. 1999) in which he tries to explain the crucial role of technology and how companies that understand and harness it have a major advantage over those who don't. Needless to say, Bill has made a few bucks. I'll have to see what Nicholas has been doing these past few years.
