If there is one thing I learned from the interview it is that being connected to other people can be very bad for your well-being and image. I don't know how much he was involved or if he did anything himself so I will say nothing else on the matter.
I am a very lucky man because when I was young I was transparent and almost everyone didn't want my company, therefore I had no one to pull me down later in life. I was considered by others to be a stupid dork that deserves no social time with other people. Although being surrounded by people that have no respect for you is hard and causes depression later in life, in the long run it is good because you learn to appreciate higher things like daily learning, art and deep philosophy and loose the need to be liked by other people. Infact I have no need to be liked or admired by anyone and I have grown a creative mind that can change the world with the right opportunities.
I will call this a gift from God. Living a life where I am only really connected personally to my family and I am free from social dogma.
