... and he doesn't like learned people. He's 70-something. He's worked for himself all his life, and he's been successful and very lucky. He knows his specialty well, and that is all that he is interested in knowing. He used to have 30 people working for him, but now he only has 6. There is not much work coming into his place anymore. He's more interested in his hobbies than in his business. He treats his people with contempt, so that even the guy with many years of service to him is hoping that he will go out of business so that he has the liberty of looking for other opportunities. He likes to be told how brilliant he is, and he loves his sycophants and satellites. I don't think that his children and grandchildren will be able to retire from his business.

Always be willing to learn. Otherwise, ignorance will catch up with you. It might be today or tomorrow, but the day of reckoning will come.
