Bill Gates: "One thing worries me"
As he stated, he is generally optimistic about the year ahead, but he expressed that he has a few concerns.In a recent post on his blog entitled "Reasons for optimism after a difficult year", Gates made several optimistic predictions - from the COVID pandemic potentially ending to the oncoming rise of the metaverse.
But one particular problem could slow or derail much of that progress, he predicted: people’s distrust of governments.
“It’s one of the issues I’m most worried about heading into 2022,” he wrote, as reported by CNBC.
He pointed out that politicians must be an important factor in solving problems, such as climate change and preventing the next pandemic.
"But they can only do so much if people reject their guidance on principle“.
"If your people don’t trust you, they’re not going to support major new initiatives,” Gates wrote. “And when a major crisis emerges, they’re less likely to follow guidance necessary to weather the storm", he added.
According to him, such distrust has become particularly evident since the pandemic hit: COVID misinformation has spread across both the U.S. and the rest of the world, hampering the country’s vaccination rates and ultimately delaying the end of the pandemic.
Gates pointed out in the blog that politically incentivized headlines and social media have each played a role in the “growing divide”, and that governments may need 'regulate' online platforms to effectively dispel misinformation.
