The Research
Roy Baumeister at Florida State University spent decades studying the relationship between self-image and aggression. His findings overturned a widely held assumption about confidence and power.
The popular belief was that aggression comes from low self-esteem. That people who feel bad about themselves lash out. Baumeister’s research told a more complicated and more disturbing story. The people most prone to explosive aggression are not people with low self-esteem. They are people with inflated, unstable self-esteem. People who think very highly of themselves but whose self-image has no foundation underneath it.
When that self-image is challenged, the nervous system reacts before the conscious mind can intervene. There is no reflection, no consideration, no processing of the incoming information. There is only the threat response. And the threat response has one goal: eliminate the source of the challenge.
Baumeister called this threatened egotism. And his research showed it is one of the most reliable predictors of human aggression across cultures, contexts, and situations.
The angrier the reaction, the more fragile the ego that produced it.

Out of the mouths of babes…. #Truth
Believe him. He doesn’t think about much - beyond his short-list of vanity and self-pleasuring, self-worshiping projects.
And Sir only has concepts of concepts. They’re well encapsulated here.

A quotation from Robert Louis Stevenson
An unconscious, easy, selfish person shocks less, and is more easily loved, than one who is laboriously and egotistically unselfish. There is at least no fuss about the first; but the other parades his sacrifices, and so sells his favours too dear.
Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) Scottish essayist, novelist, poet
Essay (1880-01/02?), “Reflections and Remarks on Human Life,” § 5 “Selfishness and Egoism”More about this quote: wist.info/stevenson-robert-lou…

“The things we admire in men, #kindness and #generosity, #openness, #honesty, #understanding and feeling are the concomitants of #failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, #greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, #egotism and #self-interest are the traits of success.” - #JohnSteinbeck

Egotism is the anesthetic that dulls the pain of stupidity.

There's a world of difference between a strong ego, which is essential, and a large ego -- which can be destructive. The guy with a strong ego knows his own strengths. He's confident. He has a realistic idea of what he can accomplish, and he moves purposefully toward his goal. But the guy with a large ego is always looking for recognition. He constantly needs to be patted on the back. He thinks he's a cut above everybody else. And he talks down to the people who work for him.

The people who are quite convinced they are superior are the very inferior people; the men who really think themselves extraordinary are the most ordinary rotters on earth.

HBomberGuy makes great videoessays. Mostly game related, but not always.
This time he explains where the soundfile "dow" comes from. He falls into a rabbithole and finds there one of the great liars of our time. Reminds my of musk and trump.
