Perhaps the insanity term fits.  Gates obviously has some neurotic
problems, but maybe they go even deeper then we know.  Maybe he actually
believes the tripe he speaks, either because he is sociopathic and has no
moral compass, or he is just so full of himself and lauded by his toadies,
how can he be wrong.  

I've never quite understood how reasonably intelligent people could
constantly fall for the same lies over and over again.   Perhaps it is his
own "belief of the unbelievable" that makes the masses actually believe
all the lies microsoft has spread since the beginning.
