Bill Gates shows Charlie Rose his collection of rare scientific documents from famous inventors, and weighs in on the question of why so many of the world's most influential people have been left-handed.
Iam a lefty and so proud. Due to the torture I went through when I was in school I decided to be the ambassador of lefties in Uganda to fight for the young ones who are tortured in schools for using a left hand. We deserve freedom as lefties to develop our talents.
As a Left handed person, we tend to be good at using both hands because everything is made for right handed people. Everything from school binders to most household items, most computer mouses used to be shaped for right handers and were on the right side of computer, Even when typing on the phone it's harder to press the Enter and Send button as they are on the far right (if u have small hands and are left handed its a strech every time to press send). There are so many examples. I think it could be possible that being left handed contributes to being good at problem solving from a different perspective when your body is operating from a different perspective than the environment it is working in.
My dad was left handed but was forced to learn to write with his right hand. I tend to do most things like lefthanded people, but still write with my right hand. I have weird brains.
The heart leans to the left in healthy people. Using your left for hard work puts more pressure on your heart. Left-handers are more likely to have heart disease and they also have shorter life-expectancies. In combat sports, I have noticed that left-handed fighters tend to fight in the low weight classes, even southpaws (some southpaws are right-handed) they tend to fight in the low weight classes. Heavyweight divisions are right-hander dominated, this suggests that right-handers are better fighters because they dominate heavyweight divisions. Some examples of great right-handers are Muhaammad Ali, Mike Tyson, Lennox Lewis, Joe Louis, Jack Johnson, Deontay Wilder, Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua, Francis Ngannou and many more. As of 2021, there has never been a left-handed heavyweight WBC champion. Most intellectuals that are taught to be left-handed are actually right-handed and in some claims there is no evidence of them being left-handed. Some right-handers include Albert Einstein, Charles Darwin, Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg and Marie Currie. Lefties have lied that these people are lefties but they are actually right-handed, lefties lie more often from what I have observed. left-handers have been going around saying they are better but they are physically smaller, more prone to fear, have lower IQ, shorter life expectancy, more prone to allergies, more likely to be drug addicts, more prone to pedophilia, more prone to crime, less accurate, they believe in lefty lies so they go about saying they are better. Time for us right-handers to start checking and attacking because lefties have been talking too much and it is lefty-lies that they are spreading.
Nowhere did I say "lefties are better ". My whole point was that almost everything is made for right handed people (especially when I was a kid) and that contributed to me being able to use both hands more and MAYBE that contributed to my problem solving abilities. Nowhere did I lie or make any bold statements that you are claiming. Although, there ARE people who think that being left handed or right handed makes you a better person and those people are narrow minded just like someone who thinks one race or gender is better than another.
@@daydreamdebbie8387 you have made nothing but good points. some people, mostly lefties have made points claiming that lefties are better, I would argue otherwise but you have a good day.
@@aem870 I agree...Even scientific researches have proved that your intelligence and creativity has nothing to do with which hand you use, but these lefties always claim that they're the smartest people and so on...They just do that to make themselves feel special cause in reality being left handed isn't something mindblowing lol 😂
Don’t you left handed people think that there’s maybe a reason that 90 percent of people are right handed it could be natural selection on average left-handed people die 9 years earlier than right-handed and I’m sure there other reason why 90 percent are right-handed
left-handed people have an average IQ that is 1.5 points below that of right-handers. The claims that people like Einstein were left-handed are false. Nor was Darwin.
I love that I'm a lefty. I'm not saying I'm gonna be super successful just because Gates or Obama is left handed. But I do gotta say we lefties tend to have a way of thinking differently or outside the box,that's if we choose to bring out our potentials from within us. At the same time Gates is right we have our highs and lows
+Laoxkidd1198 dude thats mega bullshit.. its just coincidence that some of successful people are left handed.On top of that,, there is research that shows no connection what so ever between creativity and the hand you are writting with.
+BadDeveloper its connection left handers use right part of there brain right of brain is used for creative skills innovation and imagination power einstein napolean alexander bill gates steve jobs many of us presidents leonardo di vinci and much more including famous top atheletes they all are lefty over over year again lefty proved to be the.best and top in their field while they are 10% of the worlds population
Anirudh Apurva thats another bullshit. Its a myth that one side of the brain is connected with creativity. In fact when you have creative thoughts there are coming from all around the brail not just the left fkin side.. Also it is not true that people use like 7% of their brain if you believed in that as well
The theory that left handed people are more likely to have a higher IQ, because of a strong right brain makes sense to me, because the right side of the brain controls the left side of your body. Which means if you are using your left hand, you are using your right brain.
@@user-yb8fs4el3y it's true most ambidextrous people are natural lefties. Because most things are designed for righties, we have to be creative to find new ways to do things.
left handers are 3x more likely to be criminals than right-handers. If 10% of the population is left-handed but about 30% of criminals are left-hand. Average left-hander IQ is slightly lower than that of right-handers.
Lefties say they are better, it also seems like they lie way more. Albert Einstein: Right-handed Famous right handers: Charles Darwin, Elon Musk, Mike Tyson, Muhammad Ali, Michael Jordan, Lebron James, Jeff Bezos, Both Founders of Google, Steve Jobs and co. Apple founder Steve Wozniak are actually both right handed, Martin Luther King, Founder of FaceBook Mark Zuckerberg is too despite the lefty lie that he's a lefty, Tiger Woods, Usain Bolt, Lewis Hamilton, Roger Federer, Simone Biles, Floyd Mayweather, Lebron James, Kobe Bryant. Tupac, Nas, Biggie, Dr. Dre, Lil Wayne, Drake, Busta Rhymes, Ice Cube, Jay-Z, Kanye West, Tyler The Creator, J. Cole, Kendrick Lamar, DMX, Snoop, Chris Brown, Timbaland, Eazy E, Conceited from Wild'n'Out. There's no evidence for Newton being left-handed. Lefties have been found to have a lower IQ, more likely to commit crimes, left-handedness is more common in the blind and deaf than in those who can see and hear, lefties have a shorter life-expectancy.
As a fellow lefty,I had no idea so many of the technical,theatrical,muscial as well as political leaders were lefties. Now I just found out Steve Jobs was both left (says he also used his right),as well as my favorite musicians. I shouldn't find it mind boggling,but since I have know only three other lefties, yet can name 20 famous off the top of my head, it does boggle my mind. Neat indeed.
Steve Jobs was left-handed but he was not an engineer, the engineering genius was the right-handed Steve Wozniak. Steve Jobs was a sales person, not an engineer nor scientist. Albeert Einstein and Charles Darwin were also right-handed.

PS. Left-handed people do not die younger, this was an incorrect claim made in a study using death cohorts. They made a statistical blunder and the study has been debunked for many, many years ... yet you are still referring to it as if it is real.
@@aem870 you're just naming any famous individuals and of course there are more right handers so you can claim quite a few. The difference is that despite being in the minority there have been a high number of exceptional left handed icons in society, that is a fact!! and you have clearly been triggered. It has not been found that left handers are challenged in some way that's completely the opposite with a disproportionate number in Mensa!!
+ronniey stanton Then you'll really appreciate writing in traditional Chinese. First of all, it's written right to left and second, the characters are in pictures.
Success in life is the result of good judgment. Good judgement is usually the result of experience, and experience is usually the result of bad judgement.

@@aem870 sound a little Jealous that ur the 90% of the world population? Most of our Presidents were left handed. Our inventors too. Do some research. But its cool. Left handed humans forgive Simple people😉
@@sallunetta7333 why would I wish to be left-handed knowing that their average lifespan is about 12% less than that of a right-hander according to a study that you can easily find on Google? The research that you suggested showed me that the first left-handed American president was Andrew Garfield, he was the 20th President. There was about 19 presidents before him who were not left handed, including Abraham Lincoln who freed slaves, also George Washington and Jefferson were right handed. The right handed Abraham Lincoln is considered a great president. Obama the left-hander was to some a decent entertainer but as president, not everyone thinks so, another left-hander president was Bill Clinton the infidel, by the way, left handers according to Lombroso made up about 4% of those in the region that he studied but were 33% of the infidels. People who claim most American presidents were left-handed are themselves left-handed and they only look back as far as George H.W. Bush senior. America has had 45 presidents but they only look at 6 of them, 50% of those six are right-handed namely Joe Biden, Donald Trump and George W. Bush. This is the sort of false information I have commonly seen by left-handers. The saying that Einstein is left-handed is also a lie, he was right handed. Mark Zuckerberg is right-handed but quickly search "Is Mark Zuckerberg left-handed", I have seen many claims from lefties that he is left-handed but he throws and writes with his right.
i used to be left handed but my father used to beat me until i use my right hand. now i'm right handed. i think most lefties grow up in environment where they can be as creative and unique as they want. their parents are not very strict as to make them use right hand all the time. so i think it has more to do with family environment that lefties grow up to be more creative and innovative.
My lefty brothers & sisters, it doesn’t matter if left-handed people are smarter/dumber then right-handed. It just depends on how lazy you are just remember that “as long as you try and work hard for it, you will surely achieve it”.
Left-handed people are more likely to be blind. Left-handedness is more common in the blind than it is in those who can see. Right-handedness is more common in those who can see than the blind.
Maybe he knows that: left handers are 3x more likely to be criminals than right-handers. If 10% of the population is left-handed but about 30% of criminals are left-hand. Average left-hander IQ is slightly lower than that of right-handers.

The electrical distribution system uses the genius inventor Nikola Tesla's technology, not Edisons. Edison tried to stop the far superior system but lost in the end. Edison was a marketer who hired inventors but still gets all the credit.
hes looked into it, I wrote a paper in college on it and the research was wild, just check out what the left vs right side of our brains do and then which side of the body uses that part of the brain (the opposite) so lefty will use the right side much more which is the creative, artistic side
Both of my parents are left handed they had 6 kids and 2 of my siblings are lefty’s. I broke my right arm twice as a kid and am actually pretty ambidextrous compared to most.
My son is lefthanded and he figures out things very quickly which some of us righties take longer to do , I guess it is because of constantly having to adjust to a righthanded world, I never realised until now.
I am left handed when writing but for everything else i am right hamded. Then 5 years ago i tried learning to write with my right and finally i can do it properly. I use my right when scribbling notes and my left for finer handwriting.
Steve Jobs was not left handed, he did use his right hand to write with , there are several video’s and images online of him writing with his right hand. Famous Left handed people Leonardo DaVinci Paul McCartney Napoleon Bonaparte Cole Porter Oprah Winfrey Barack Obama Benjamin Netanyahu Pablo Picasso? Natalie Cole Johnny Leydon Ted Koppel Pele Jimmy Hendrix Annie Lennox Mahatma Ghandi Babe Ruth Nikolai Tesla Marylin Monroe Darwin Charlie Chaplin Jay Leno Albert Einstein was not left handed
People who write with their left hand should have an advantage in writing Arabic, Farsi/Dari, and Hebrew, so left-handed people are supposed to be sought out (in my opinion).
I am ambidextrous but I was born a lefty :] (I use scissors with my right but I write with my left, I play the ukulele with my right, I only use my right if something was made for a righty but I use my left whenever when something is not made for a lefty)
Because neither of my parents are left handed and I'm a girl, the chances of me being left-handed are way down, yet I am :) I'm glad I am, it's different
It could be one of your parents are born left handed but forced to use the right hand. My mom is a lefty but forced by his dad to use the right so now she's Right handed. Me and my brother are left handed tho.

This guy is left handed too: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Wolfram You may know him. He's the reason Siri can ask factual questions and why you possibility made it through some math classes.
I have some kind of Aspergers Syndrome as they say. and i am left handed im Interested in Phylosophy and Theory in Physics and should i live in middle east or in Israel of arabic countries because they can write with left hand? because writing system on hebrew and arabic is stil from Right to left.
Fatima Diaz i was born left handed but im now right handed im partially ambidextrous because i sometimes use my left hand and right hand without knowing

Hahaha😂 Mr . Bill, so funny. He knows exactly why, he just knows these “plebs” won’t ever be able to even begin to wrap there heads around it. The true answer is so deep and so complex it would be far too much if not extremely difficult to explain in an interview. And it would never happen due to the knowledge barriers between the general public and the top .001% and this is intentional .
Me too but I'm not a blonde. I'm mixed and I've left hands. My powers are creativity. I must hide ir else the government finds out. Where the Xmen when you need them?
Ik the mistakes my mom made teaching me abt life and im telling her to not do the same mistakes on my nephew and i use the advantage of knowing what mistakes my mom did
Nikola was easily one of the smartest people who walked this earth, if we listened to him we would be generations ahead than we are now. Such a brilliant underrated person.
I guess the world perceives left handed people to be smarter because in reality these people have to learn how to work in a world full of right handed tools and thus need to use creativity and ingenuity to overcome their obstacles. The reality is anyone who uses their brain more for problem solving will automatically have the lifelong practice to overcome new challenges. Thus left or right handed people when faced with similar challenges will become smarter. I just happen to be left handed :) .
Um...”upside down backwards handwriting” requiring a mirror. Jeez, daVinci was amazing. Would love to see how easy it was for him to write in this manner.
+Puppies Cookies (Play) It's a ridiculous argument. Some of the most influential people in the world and story were all right handed. And Gates glorifying Edison is kind of a shock. Edison was a lying back stabbing controlling son of a bitch who publicly executed many cats and dogs to prove his theories. He even electrocuted an elephant to death. You can see it on RU-vid. The guy was so controlling he's the one who caused many would be film makers to move west. (hence Hollywood) Edison was an asshole and an idiot.
+Hugh Dismuke wait no one started talking about Edison until you commented and i was just curious about something you didnt have to say all of that you could have just said "Actually they are right handed , sorry to rain on your parade" or something like that
Albert Einstein, Charles Darwin, Magnus Carlsen (Greatest chess player), Felix Zemdegs (greatest at solving rubix cubes), Michael Jordan, Lebron James, Steph Curry, Tiger Woods, Lewis Hamilton, Usain Bolt, Muhammad Ali, Floyd Maywether, Francis Ngannou, Serena Williams, Michael Jackson are all right handed. When dexters (right-handers) do great things, we don't focus on which hand is their strongest. If Einstein was a lefty, it would be a big topic.
Why would it be a "big topic" if Einstein was left-handed? The vast majority of people are right-handed, and this seems to be true going back to the origins of humanity, but a significant minority have been left-handed. It's not surprising that there are more right-handed people recorded in history, or doing significant things ... what is your issue here?
MERTIN every person is left footed you use your left just like your right. I'm left handed and I use my left the same as my right. I step with my left first but that doesn't mean I'm left footed.
MERTIN I have no foot preference but with my hands the only thing I do left handed that I can’t do with both hands is use scissors everything else I can do with both hands even writing
really depends on who it is. If a lefty tries hard at studying, he/she will get a high IQ depending on if they know what helps them the most. Same thing with a righty, as most of the time they can accomplish the same thing. The feeling of being special as a lefty pushes me to try and be successful like the other lefties, which only leads to more success in my life. It all comes down to if you know what you want to do, how you portray that work, how you decide what to do in school, etc.
Interesting that the windows tool bar icon found itself on the left. Its just hit me the significance that Bill was a lefty. I just wish left handed ergonomic mice were more common
bet you wish as well to achieve, yet fall miserably unsuccessful so hate is your immediate response to such failure. shame on you, away with you lousy and puny inbred. I know your kind, study them all the time.
I am ambidextrous with left-handed preference, and have sparks of moments when formal linguistics are just tiresome. I want to write right to left, upside down. No linguistic boundary. Leonardo DaVinci wrote right to left, upside down as a pure spark of left hand/right brain natural creativity. It had nothing to do with "smearing ink".
Steve Jobs was not left handed. You can see him writing on the whiteboard with his right hand here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3BNGMMc3Bgc.html
