A nearly five-hour live stream from Martin Shkreli with no description. HN mentions use it to show him working in Excel.
Mostly cited as a reference for watching Shkreli use spreadsheets, not as a recommendation.

Indeed, moreso pride and lack of wisdom. Perhaps a bit of martyrdom. Shkreli liked playing around with these people who literally wanted to slay him. I don't think he understood how seriously evil and petty boomers can be, and how most judges are from that generation. He took one for the team in a sense, showing how the justice system serves as the instrument of vengeance for the executive and legislative branches. He's by no means dumb [1,2] but yes, honest to the point of being blunt. Very much in the spirit of Mike Tyson who is also extremely intelligent but often portrayed as a dolt.

If you eat Martin Shkreli's brain, maybe you'll inherit his skill with spreadsheets! Worth a try. [LINK] [LINK] this video
