I agree that he has got a really great thing going. I think that he may be becoming like Nikola Tesla in the way that most people think of Tesla - a man way ahead of his time who doesn't quite fit into what society expects people to act like. You are right thought that I hope he doesn't end up like the real Tesla did...

I think he will ultimately do great things for the world, and already has done some great things. His willpower that you mention is a key to all of this. He is a classic case of why we should sometimes push forward with our ideas regardless of what other people may think of them.
