Reminds me of a talk by Bryan Cantrill he talked a bit (I am paraphrasing) that he didn't believe that people could be purely evil and when looking into Larry Ellisson he actually discovered he donated several hundred mil. to a nonprofit (dedicated to prolonging human life). On closer look it turned the sole purpose of that nonprofit was working on prolonging life of one particular human namely Larry Ellisson. (while writing off the donation from taxes to boot :).

Bryan Cantrill has a very hyperactive delivery when giving a talk. Personally, I love it, though it isn't for everyone. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=bryan+cantrill
