Would be very interesting to do a multi-faceted psychological analysis/profile on people like this. I am curious what makes them tick.

I myself have some very intense sides of my personality, but I've always channeled it into productive pursuits. When I was younger I daydreamt of being a nefarious black hat hacker, but I soon realized that startups, lifestyle design, social dynamics and personal development are far more rewarding ways of hacking reality :)
