Quote edit
Terje there is the quote from Ben Delo ('We' need to work together) which I now have read on the givingpledge.org page. Curiously the text is not getting archived well. My reading is that he talks about humanity at a crossroads, given nuclear potential for destruction etc. So the 'we' can be understood wider, while at the same time his peers remain the other billionaires and NGO folks that cater to them and their beliefs. To give some more context I would put something in from the paragraph above so these words are put in perspective if you dont mind(?). -- Sunvalley (talk) 21:55, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
Please go ahead - your clarification adds to the article.
I feel Delo is talking more to his peers, no word of democratic input in his letter + last sentence "I thank Bill and Melinda Gates and Warren Buffett for creating this important initiative."
and maybe he is getting nudged in certain directions by his new friends, his vision reminds me a bit of The Great Reset/Fourth Industrial Revolution plans being implemented as we speak.
Btw, part of Ben Delo's Giving Pledge money from 2019 is presciently going to "biosecurity and pandemic preparedness"[1],
