I love that every post I see linked from Wolfram is so over the top that it borders on satire. Especially the posts from the author of the software. It's so incredibly powerful in such odd ways.

Stephen Wolfram seems absurdly intelligent to me, I can't even fathom the depth of his comprehensions.

He seems pretty intelligent but very egotistical to many people. He acts (well, acted) as though he's a messiah when he's just another smart dude.

We've got Wolfram Derangement Syndrome* ITT when he didn't even write the post!

Why the past tense? I thought he was still around? Or do you just mean he's less egotistical these days?

The examples of him being super egotistical that I'm aware of are from a while ago. I'm thinking of this kind of thing, where he thinks he knows everything about every field: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_New_Kind_of_Science
