[Altruist]

he is so not even trying that he is a problematic janitor who lives for the bottle, and he's still miles ahead of people who devoted their lives to studying, and ... it's actually pissing him off that he is so good at it ("do you know how easy this is for me" scene with paper burning). ofc, he takes women from those arrogant nerds in bars too while he's at it
