*[ASCII art](ascii_art.md) of John Carmack*
He is kind of the ridiculously stereotypical [nerd](nerd.md) with glasses who just by the way he talks gives out the impression of someone with high functioning [autism](autism.md). You can just sense his [IQ](iq.md) is over 9000. However it appears he's the kind of very narrowly focused robot, a calculator capable of superhuman programming and math calculations who knows little to nothing about unrelated areas -- for example he doesn't seem to be able to speak any other language than English or know much about empathy (judging from his conformance to entrepreneurship). { If I'm incorrect, let me know please. I searched if he speaks any languages but haven't found any clues about that being true. ~drummyfish } Some nice [shit](shit.md) about him can be read in the (sadly [proprietary](proprietary.md)) book *Masters of Doom*.

Carmack is a proponent of "[FOSS](foss.md)" and has released his old game engines as such which gave rise to an enormous amount of modifications, forked engines and even new games (e.g. [Freedoom](freedoom.md) and [Xonotic](xonotic.md)). He's probably leaning more towards the dark side of the source: the [open-source](open_source.md). In 2021 Carmack tweeted that he would have rather licensed his old Id engines under a permissive BSD [license](license.md) than the [GPL](gpl.md), which is good.
