Just a profoundly stupid asshole

ckman believes that our lives are often fated from birth. "I have a view that people become their names," he told me.
"Like, I've met people named Hamburger that own McDonald's franchises." We'd been talking for nearly an hour and a half when Ackman asked me what my name was, hoping to offer a diagnosis. After he seemed momentarily stumped by my surname, I offered him my first name, which he misheard as Reed. "Read ... write" he said, before turning back to himself. "So, my name is Ackman — it's like Activist Man."
