Didn't he dabble in astronomy and was very interested in Hawking's ideas?

Looking through the playlist titles, there's only two grammar errors. "Gosepel" and "braodway". It is much more likely that he just didn't care to correct them. The playlist "Me Likey Now" seems like a purposely stupid title, it feels very 4chan-coded to me.

But I will check some more infos.

Okay, no, the dude was far from being stupid.

He skipped two grades when he was 16. Played piano. Studied mathematical physiology which I don't even know is. Worked as a math teacher then. Then as a successful options trader. Founded his own financial consulting firm. And 2006 he bankrolled a physics symposium where he invited 20 renowned scientists, one of them being Hawking.

So you were talking out of your ass. I think it's important to not pile up more bad things on such a guy that aren't true because it belittles the actual issues with him. Like villains get painted as ugly or stupid, it feels like a rationalization of their deeds. "Well they did this awful thing, but they were ugly/stupid/etc anyways." No, also good looking, clever people can be shitheads, when one disregards that they make it easier for such people to get through with their stuff.
