>>6789048
He's not. From his interviews and what those that have personally known him have said, he seems like the most friendly gentleman out there. He likes to read good books, just as much as he likes to be read. He just doesn't like crap. I think him and his work is the perfect combination of sophisticate and street level working man mentality. Even if he's better than someone else, that doesn't matter, we're all God's children.

"The Pancreator is infinitely far from us," the angel said, "And thus infinitely far from me, though I fly so much higher than you. I guess at his desires—no one can do otherwise."
