He manages to make himself the actual subject of everything he writes. When I saw the author’s name, I knew the article would make sure to fluff up his own ego, and it took him less than a paragraph to get there.

- bondarchuk 1y agoIt's not just his ego though, it's the way his ego clashes with other egos of internet commenters. Why do so many people feel the need to comment that they already knew Wolfram would write about himself and then confirm that it is indeed so? If you can predict it so well and you don't like it, you could just ignore it. But somehow it triggers people even knowing that he exists and they can't let it go.
