Supervillain Loading: Bill Gates' Daughter Phoebe Reportedly Took a Secret Class At Stanford That Focused On Controlling Society And Ruling The World

Over the weekend I blogged about how Bill Gates' daughter was in hot water for a 'cookie stuffing' scandal surrounding her AI-shopping startup company Phia. Scummy stuff that COULD see her facing jail time. Probably not because she's Bill Gates' daughter, but this kind of crime, if found guilty, is viewed the same as wire fraud. Not exactly the tomfoolery you want to be involved in as a 23 year old. 

Now she's got ex-Stanford classmates piling on and talking shit about how she wasn't a good coder in college. 

Her Stanford classmates didn’t know her to be a strong coder, according to our source. In fact, when plans for Phia were announced, some computer science students allegedly “laughed in their faces,” they said.

The Bronny James of code some are saying. I'm in tears. 

But I'm not here today to talk about Phoebe. I just want to know more about this invite only secret class that Phoebe reportedly took while at Stanford. In that unofficial class called "Rule" you apparently learn to how take advantage of the vulnerabilities in the world's power structure and get pretty much whatever you want. Basically a starter pack to becoming a super villain. 

Under fire Phoebe Gates once belonged to a secretive, invitation-only Stanford class called “So You Think You Can Rule the World?” where students are “taught how to identify vulnerabilities in systems of power,” The Post can reveal.

Years before her shopping startup, Phia, was hit by allegations it exploited illegal loopholes, billionaire Bill Gates’ daughter, now 23, was among a hand-picked group of Stanford students in a secret society who study how power works — and, according to one former student, how to “hack” it.

The unofficial 10-week course, nicknamed “Rule,” isn’t publicized, has no enrollment code and accepts just 12 students — six men and six women — at a time. They meet weekly to debate money, power and “the underlying incentive structures and frameworks that govern how the world works,” according to The Stanford Daily.

And if you were wondering about the motives of this class, former students claim the ethics of the class aren't exactly good-willed. I for one am shocked that a secret class called "So You Think You Can Rule The World?" didn't have the best intentions. 

One former student told the Stanford Daily the goal was to teach students “how to essentially hack any kind of power structure or bureaucratic structure and get what they want in a system of people.”

Another described Lewis-Weber’s entrepreneurial philosophy as “hackier” and “more opportunistic.”

“It’s more about identifying the vulnerabilities or loopholes,” the former student claimed. “I think he’s less concerned with the ethics of it all and the problem-solving elements.”

Yeah this is some secret-society illuminati shit that none of us have any access to. I thought I was cool to have a class at Syracuse about the Super Bowl. You could even enroll in a course on drinking wine. Meanwhile at Stanford they're coaching you up on taking over the world. We have no chance out there. 

The Stanford Daily wrote about this class a few months ago to give us more insight. It all started with this guy Justin Lewis-Weber. 

When the class’s instructor Justin Lewis-Weber ’20 was a student, he arrived on campus with the expectation of meeting high-achieving intellectuals and engaging in vivacious conversation. But he found his experience lacking. 

According to Estella Zhou ’26, a former student of the class, Rule was Lewis-Weber’s attempt to bring together “like-minded folks who dared to dream bigger together.”

Yeah that line I bolded right above here is pretty much someone's villain origin story. Every word I read gets more villainous than the previous. 

Lewis-Weber began “Rule” in his junior year at Stanford seeking to change this perceived deficiency. The product is a class of students whom he personally selects, based on his assessment of their projected impact on the world.

Don't love any of this. This is bad news. 

Taylor is the pseudonym of a student who interviewed for the class in her sophomore year, has several friends who took the class and requested anonymity to speak candidly. She said that Lewis-Weber represents “the cynical parts of Silicon Valley,” describing him as “power hungry, intellectual, but really focused on profit and power instead of doing good.”

Alright is there a way we can bet on people to become super villains? This guy is a full-blown maniac. What do you mean at age six he built and flew his first helicopter? 

Growing up in Southern California, Lewis-Weber was interested in space exploration from a young age. At six, he built and flew his first helicopter. At 12, he started an aerial imaging company, one of the first in the world. At 17, he published a peer-reviewed article proposing that solar panels be installed on the moon using lunar materials as an alternative to fossil fuels.

I was at first interested in Phoebe Gates allegedly breaking all these rules and maybe going to jail. That led me to this secret Stanford class about taking over the world and now I'm at the point we gotta stop this Lewis-Webster guy before it's too late. Is no one else reading this stuff?!?! We might need to form a rival secret class to stop this secret class. 

P.S. Is this why Stanford football sucks these days? They stopped caring about football and transitioned to world-takeover bullshit. Pretentious assholes.
