This dude's brain is big, man. Give the boy an oat soda
The only people you need to be wary of are the people who REALLY believe what they say they believe.

Big fan of his early and middle work. Also love the pubescent humor he displayed in bets with colleagues like Leonard Susskind and John Preskill. If I recall correctly, both involved the preservation or loss of information in a black hole and he lost both. In the former, he gave Susskind a subscription to Penthouse and, in the latter, he gave Preskill a baseball encyclopedia. Or maybe he was to have received a Penthouse subscription if he won. Either way, it's good stuff.

That party he threw for time travelers was also pretty good. It's hard to hate a man that's brilliant and has a sense of humor.
