Always liked a nice metaphor…
https://www.kingswell.io/p/some-random-thoughts-on...“Returning to the seafaring metaphor from above, Buffett built a ship designed to sail through storms he will never see, captained by people he (eventually) will never know, but carrying a map he drew by hand. This is the start of his final challenge. And, for the first time, he will be watching from the shore.”

I'd modify it a bit. He's not watching from shore, he's more like a commodore as an honoured passenger watching the new captain run the ship. He'll be dropped off at one of the first couple of ports of call, however.
(or perhaps retired commodore if you're fussy)

It’s a nice analogy, except for the fact that the boat that was once a 10m with a mainsail and a jib has been transformed into a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. And where does the map say it should be sailed to, now? There are very few destinations that it can come to land at.

I wonder if like Rose Blumkin he will get bored...and set up another one. :)
