Thanks for sharing my post, Kingswell! Indeed, Fisher's personality was kind of "weird". I was talking to a friend about Fisher's personality and he believed he could have "Asperger" (like Burry) or "Autism".
My thinking on Warren’s change in the distribution of his remaining shares on his death is that the annual gifts to the foundations are made in converted B shares and sold, thus diminishing the A share voting control. By using the trust arrangement, he can extend his control of Berkshire through the A shares and, thus, diminish the eventual prospect of non-Berkshire owners trying to breakup the company for a quick profit.
