This is insane. We all work our asses off to barely get a decent living, and this guy wipes out everything over a state of mind. Wait a couple months after he gives everything away, I don´t think he can be as happy as being rich. He should do a sort of try out: move to the filthy cabin in the woods and try to leave a year there without using your money. If he still thinks this is the way to go, at least he got a taste first! let´s not forget that when he was poor, in some way his parents supported him, and also he was young. Good luck, though!
Ceeseduck & Geoff Pedder: This is the biggest machine on the face of the earth, as it is stated ("land based"). The LHC may be the biggest, but it is below the face of the earth, so the statement remains valid.
