De Garis appears to have genuinely good intentions to educate the world and thereby free it from war and poverty. Unfortunately, he also comes across as self-important, cantankerous, elitist prick, which makes me think that he is unlikely to make much positive impact. At least the categorized archive of papers appears to be way more useful than his rambling youtube lectures (with a typical view count of 15 over 3 years).
