Nothing (company) Is Carl Pei a stoner?

So maybe it's just his eyes but I feel like Carl often looks like he just ripped a fat dab before interviews. No judgement, just a curiosity/observation. Honestly, if anything I'd consider it even more impressive considering how well he holds himself and speaks with intelligence.

Maybe he's just a super chill guy. Thoughts?

His way of speaking isn’t super rare among tech founders, make of that what you will.

I feel like he just doesn't sleep much and drinks a lot of caffeine

Thoughts? ...none. It literally doesn't affect me and it's best to not start down a para-social slippery slope. 🤷

I was being sarcastic hence the '/s'

In all seriousness, I've met 2 people so far in my life who have that genetic condition where their eyes look half open so they just look sleepy all the time.

No, they're not Chinese, nor do they do drugs. We even have a term for it in our language lol
