I don’t generally pay much attention to this space. However, I’ve heard two interviews with Chris, both on Lex Fridman‘s podcast, and I don’t get a sense that he is an emotionally fragile person. The space he’s been operating in for ~20 years is filled with strong and often ideological opinions.

Just sounds to me like he felt like he was wasting his time.

Then why didn't he just say that he wanted to "pursue other challenges" or something like that, especially if he'd actually mean it?
