I try to read everything Wolfram has written and generally finds his writings quite enjoyable.

After reading lots of hsi writings, I noticed one thing which I don't like. It seems like he always tries to belittle other giants (albeit in indirect ways) and project himself as an ultimate intellectual. Even in one of his writing about Feynman, he tried to show that even Feynman sometimed couldn't match his genius. Nevertheless, I still do enjoy his writings.




Maybe he simply can't escape his impostor syndrome. It's not always nefarious.
