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.

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
