From one of his self-biographies:

However, after a series of the inevitable, endemic startup setbacks that the Internet boom all too often left in its wake, Gabriel grew weary of the cold, cloistered, celibate tedium of engineering culture, and fell willing prey to the lure of the exotic social and intellectual stimulation and blandishments that only the Liberal Arts could offer.

God this man sounds insufferable.

Yeah a really long sentence to say either "I failed to capatilize on my claims" (if that was even possible)

Because he is opinionated and doesn't write in a boring way?

He specifically tries to write in a poetic style. See his website - https://dreamsongs.com/

In 2002 he was 53 years old.
