I am of an age with Carmack and wanted to be a game developer when i was young. I very much elevated him very high. In terms of computer graphics he is very informed and talented. But I have watched him do interviews that largely focused on other areas and I find him to be pretty average or even below average. His thoughts on BJJ and AI are quite immature and don't express any special insight.

There’s a reason people say don’t meet your heroes.

No matter how elevated they are in your mind, they’re still just people. One pants leg at a time and all.
