People falling in the ages old trap of antropormophizing Oracle executives.

> Do not fall into the trap of anthropomorphising Larry Ellison. You need to think of Larry Ellison the way you think of a lawnmower. You don't anthropomorphize your lawnmower, the lawnmower just mows the lawn, you stick your hand in there and it'll chop it off, the end. You don't think 'oh, the lawnmower hates me' -- lawnmower doesn't give a shit about you, lawnmower can't hate you. Don't anthropomorphize the lawnmower. Don't fall into that trap about Oracle. — Brian Cantrill (https://youtu.be/-zRN7XLCRhc?t=33m1s)

For those unfamiliar. Worth a watch.

Have you seen Larry lately? How do you look like that at 80 years old? He must be a cyborg.
He can afford the top-shelf blood boys
I heard that blood transfusion in Switzerland clinics, using blood of young healthy people of course, works pretty well.

He abstains from alcohol and drugs, maybe?
