He sounds smart but unprincipled — which absolutely and permanently would rule him out from significant academic work.

I am not at all impressed; indeed people like this guy seems to be have infiltrated everywhere and destroyed all possibility of good work in many fields — I’m sick of them.

This may well be an impression created by the interview, or by the journalist — but it is the definite impression. A CV phrased like this should set off alarm bells, not evoke approval…
