situations / activities financial motivation has provide to be the easiest form
of motivation to give people.  When other motives come into play it tends to
warp reality IMHO.

He's so financially motivated that he only earns money lecturing in IT and AI
(i.e. computer chess) - to the best of my knowledge he has no other source of
income ;-)
