Can someone elaborate as to why Wolfram’s insufferable? I’ve only looked at his blog once or twice. However this post was great.

I mention all that so it won't seem too mean-spirited when I repeat this:
I've heard a joke, "Which will achieve self-awareness first, Wolfram or Wolfram Alpha?"
He's a great man, but flawed by too-great appreciation of his own greatness.

I have a lot of respect for the man despite his personality problems. He knew what he wanted at a young age and pursued it with determination and persistence and achieved it.

Just one of many grating examples of how he communicates. He's a genius though, so he has that going for him...
