      I’d be pretty pissed off all the time if I spent years trying to educate children just to watch more than half of them grow up to be complete morons.

      I’ve also heard that he gets approached a lot by weirdos asking odd questions. Specifically, at one talk, during the Q and A portion, getting asked highly technical questions by adults who grew up watching him and expecting him to be able to respond. I wouldn’t put too much weight on what randos on the Internet have to say about his character.
