When he said, quote-unquote, "retired" he most likely just meant that he is no longer forced to work for his substinance. He is still out there, he is just free to pursue exactly what he wants.
- blr_hack 16y agoI agree. Actually, at my age (approaching middle age), that 'retirement' word, doesn't sound right ... it may mean either 'resigned', 'lazy', 'tired' and other negatives... and success can indeed make you 'lazy' and 'fat'... so may be I read more into it. Personally, don't like that 'retirement' word. At-least not till I am actually forced to do :) So my role models are people like Vishy Anand, who at 41, is still the world chess champion (I believe, hacking is also as energy-needing as playing chess)...
