Larry is not a fool, it&#x27;s not about him; I think he&#x27;s reached an age where you start thinking seriously about leaving the world, and things like hubris and greed (which drove him before, one could argue) don&#x27;t make as much sense as before. His children are what they are and he won&#x27;t be buying boats once he dies, so why not help people you like who can make a difference for people coming after you?
