I'm sure I've posted this already, but I can't see it, so apologies if this is a double post.

Well like I say, there's no attack in my saying this, and I forgive him, but it's another thing entirely to ignore it. Being a big head makes people overstate the case all the time. When it's something like telling everyone that a documentary is going to be all about you, it's easily mitigated, in that everyone gets to see the documentary and finds out that wasn't true. When it's something like saying - and this is hypothetical here - "this witness said things that ENTIRELY corroborated my theories", it's another thing, because we might not be able to check that witnesses testimony ourselves. If we know that he tends to overstate things, if doing so boosts his self image, we need to temper the weighting of such statements with that knowledge.

Again, it's not evil, it's just pertinent.

Right. It's all water under the bridge.

We just disagree.

My bad, very sorry.

Have a nice day,

What is so wrong about having a big ego anyway??... Oh right... New Age literature goes on and on and on and on.... about how guilty you are if you have 1 speck of ego

I am sick of fully competent modest people being crushed down by those who knew how to market themselves and didn't have a problem of telling the world the truth .. that they are unique and the best thing under the sun. And my complete 'favourites' are people who talk about how they have mastered the disolution of ego all the time and how great they are for doing that ... ummm... say what??! lol

Modesty is a virus programming designed to enslave humanity into obedience and obscurence.

If I am so good and great to realize I am really one of the best if not THE best in my field .. I will not wait 2 seconds before sharing it with everyone else.

You know what Bruce Lee said when a commentator asked him if he is great?

"If I told you I am good, I would be lying to you ... and if I told you I am great you would say I am boasting"

Would you rather be a liar or 'accussed' of boasting? In fact the reason I like DW on a personal level is that he has no problem with sharing how great he is...

Well, Bruce Lee was great, and if someone had asked him if he was, and he had said so, he would not have been boasting, he would have been telling the truth. If he had then gone on to take every opportunity to re-mention his greatness, to the point of engineering discussions into having such opportunities, sometimes crowbarring it in entirely out of context, he'd be boasting.

It's entirely possible to be humble, whilst still completely factual, objective, and forthright about ones personal qualities and achievements. Those things are not incompatible, and there's a big difference between being unhealthily self-deprecating, and not having a proclivity for irrelevant self-aggrandizement. I'm troubled by anyone who isn't aware of that distinction.

It's okay for Bruce to say he was great also because it's not untrue, and he wouldn't have been delusional in believing that. It's a different matter when someone becomes so self absorbed that one's perception becomes unreliably tilted in favour of one's self.

When that seems to be happening to someone who's usefulness to me is their ability to reckon things, I need to be aware of it. I can now bare in mind that things he gets intuitively might be twisted by his desire to big himself up unrealistically. It's nothing for me to hate him about, and I don't think he needs to feel guilty about it. I don't even think he needs to overcome it, that's a matter for him. All I'm interested in is knowing that it's there, so I can better contextualize his ideas.

Your assertion that New Age literature says people are guilty if they have any ego is a straw-man. What literature? Moreover, I, nor anyone in this thread, has said that, and it therefore has no relevance here.
