“Many of the people who are transforming society, advancing knowledge, and inventing modern culture are in the top 1% in intellectual ability...

..In the age of big data, the biggest brains will increasingly set the country's course”

Or, at least they seem to be trying to...
“Many billionaires are in the top 1 percent of brains. Mark Zuckerberg and Sergey Brin were each identified during adolescence by the Center for Talented Youth at Johns Hopkins University”
“...and they attended a summer program there, which means they are in the top percentile of intellectual ability...”
The article goes on to say “Bill Gates is in the top 1 percent, as was Steve Jobs.”

Kinda funny side note, this quote is the 1st thing that came up when searching for their names together. Weird.
“...Many high-profile nontechies are in the 1% as well:

Stefani Germanotta, a.k.a. Lady Gaga, was enrolled in the same program as Zuckerberg and Brin at Johns Hopkins”
“Just as a select group of gifted kids do today, she spent three weeks of summer in an intense learning program...”

⚡️The same Johns Hopkins summer camp for the top percentile of the 1% Zuckerberg and Brin were in⚡️ http://www.cnn.com/2010/LIVING/08/06/geek.camp.talented/index.html
“Gaga, Mark Zuckerberg and Sergey Brin are all alumni of the Center for Talented Youth (CTY) at Johns Hopkins University....one of the most well-known highly selective programs that have given rise to high-achieving adults.”
“...There's no question that America's top 1 percent in brains drive growth on a global scale—the brands Microsoft, Apple, Google, Facebook, and Gaga are all examples of this”-PsychologyToday.com
So, are these Johns Hopkins kids and other 1%ers actually influencing the world?

Seems like they’re giving it a pretty good shot right about now...
Over the past 10 yrs Bill Gates has become the World Health Organization’s 2nd biggest donor, 2nd only to the United States.

“The result, say his critics, is that Gates‘ priorities have become the WHO’s”
“WHO and Global Citizen announce:

'One World: Together at home'

A Global Special to support healthcare workers in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic”

“One World” 🙄
The photo they use is from Lady Gaga’s new album “Chromatica”

She will be performing a virtual concert for the event.
She’s quite involved, she spoke on WHO’s press conference for #COVIDー19 as well.
Another connection in these 1%ers, Johns Hopkins and the Coronavirus?

The Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security in partnership with the World Economic Forum and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation hosted Event 201, a high-level pandemic exercise on October 18, 2019 in NY
You know what else is interesting?

Bill Gates’ mom, Mary Gates, helped him form a lucrative relationship with I.B.M., securing a contract with his fledgling company, Microsoft, according to the New York Times.
Bill Gates’ mother was the first female president of King County's United Way, the first woman to chair the national United Way’s executive committee where she served most notably with IBM's CEO, John Opel

I also just noticed something interesting, see any similarities here 👇👇
Speaking of King county, remember the first coronavirus death in the US was in King county, WA at Evergreen Hospital? https://twitter.com/l73622843/status/1234305396270977024
According to Wikipedia, Bill Gates lives in King County WA near Evergreen Point Road, not far from the Evergreen hospital, and not far from Life Care Centers of America-where first US cases broke out.

Moving on...let’s see if the other Johns Hopkins’ super special kids are saving the world for us right now with their giant brainz 😆
“A pair of Silicon Valley philanthropists, Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates have announced new attempts to expand testing for coronavirus...They are playing a much-needed role at a time when billionaire philanthropy is criticized more than ever for supplanting government action.”
Okay now for Sergey...
Remember he and Larry Page are the co-founders of Google. Brin was the president of Google's parent company Alphabet Inc, until stepping down from the role on December 3, 2019.

I didn’t find much of interest on Sergey and coronavirus-esque activity
But I did find this:

“Starting in April 2018, 2 of the biggest names in tech teamed up to fight for a universal flu vaccine.
Wow, they are all so charitable & well connected & organized & extremely wealthy & powerful... and selected & groomed as children...working toward the same cause 😶
Remember Bill Gates’ Mom was a major philanthropist, is reason for Bill’s Microsoft success and introducing him to Warren Buffett. And his dad was head of planned parenthood, among other things.
Hey Braniacs, you know it’s bad karma to use your divine skills for evil, right?

Doesn’t take a high IQ to figure that one out 🤓
