Your comment at 48 mins about the working week... I worked in Australia for 11 years with next to no leave used and exited the job with 7 months pay out of leave. I know I’m rare but Australians in many industries work VERY VERY hard and very long hours. My girlfriend works at a university and does excessive hours, similar many classroom teachers I know. My friend was in small business for 30 years and worked 5 1/2 days a week, most days were 12 hours a day.
"I really think you need to look at how philanthropy is actually being used: Is it genuine, or is it a way to distract? The only example that I know where it's really, really genuine is BILL GATES, and he gets all the attention and he's doing great work. But the vast majority of billionaires actually gives a very small percentage of its wealth to charity, and it's mostly a PR effort."

Did Rutger say the following?
Was it at TED2017 or Davos2019?
Has he walked back from it at any point?
