His &quot;Bill Gates education&quot; analogy doesn&#x27;t really make sense to me. I think he is saying that it would create a bunch of super rich people but I don&#x27;t think you get Bill Gates by education alone (IIRC Outliers supports that). The major of people would probably join the middle class (and not &quot;stop short&quot;, the middle class is a great place to be compared to poverty) and lessen income inequality, even if one or two became billionaires.
