Seconding pretty much everything you said there.

His goal is to become the disgraced founder and CEO of a fraudulent biotech startup by the age of 14.

Most of them don’t appear to end up doing much, almost like being really good at one specific thing, in this case academic education, doesn’t guarantee any success beyond being really good that.
