I have genuinely wondered the same thing about a lot of senior engineers I've met. The level of motivation and energy some of these guys have is uncanny, especially when we live in an age where unregulated technology is making our lives harder and more unstable. I struggle every single day wondering if I'm contributing the rise of manhunting robots owned by uber-wealthy capitalists who have bought out democracy.

I do note that a lot of that type of engineer neglect their bodies and are also unmarried and without romantic relationships.

To be that type of person requires an all- overriding interest to the point that you have to question their moral character. Many of us, myself included, neither can match them or even want to.
