[RECORD.TXT] · cat --full
In a CNN interview, Bill Gates described his meetings with Jeffrey Epstein as 'a huge mistake' and said he had met Epstein hoping he could generate 'literally billions of dollars going to global health,' which Gates said proved to be 'a mirage.' He emphasized he had no knowledge of Epstein's criminal conduct and expressed regret for having associated with him. The interview was his most direct and extended public accounting of the relationship.

Gates retreats for solitary, twice-yearly 'Think Weeks'
For years Bill Gates retreated twice a year to a secluded cabin for a solitary 'Think Week,' during which he read stacks of papers, books, and employee proposals with no interruptions, emerging with strategic memos that shaped Microsoft's direction. The ritual became famous as a model of deep, focused thinking by a busy executive, and was credited with helping spark major pivots — including Microsoft's embrace of the internet. Gates carried the habit of voracious, deliberate reading into his philanthropy.
