Most Core developers are likely unwitting pawns, having their egos stroked by sockpuppet fans on twitter.

Look at how cool, calm and collected Adam Back is. Meanwhile most of the Core developers have effeminate voices or anxiety, weight-gain, lacking self-control/confidence. That is how you can tell who the CEO is. Children obey the commands of their father.

But if Adam Back were to end up alone on a deserted island, he himself would become desparate, wild-eyed, anxious, with insatiable hunger. He would become like a child again, reborn with a new soul. Currently, he has no soul of his own, he gains authority from his subordinates, just like every other native government employee.
