I've had some personal thoughts and observations on humility and hubris bouncing around my head for a while now so wrote them down as a short article to share what I can only describe as the Professional Humility / Hubris Cycle.

I could watch ignorant billionaire manchildren cry about their shitty investments all day.

Reminds me of #lexluthor syndrome.

"We know better than everyone who has gone before us. We will never, ever, succumb to hubris."

Nemesis: "You called?"

🥥 Besides overconsumption, Travis, people have a serious problem with #Hubris and a gross mismatch between #Technology and #Wisdom.
I sure wish I knew what to do about it. 🥥

The Supreme Court Is Infected With the ‘Most Damaging’ Human Bias

It’s not the justices’ politics that are making them unpopular. It’s their overconfidence.

Nobel Prize-winning psychologist Daniel Kahneman has called the “most damaging” of all human biases: overconfidence. Put simply, today’s justices possess a frightening degree of certainty that they can alone answer society’s most pressing problems with just the right lawyerly argument.

#Greenwash is relatively dumbed down information.

So, why do many people believe in greenwash?

A leaf, a bird, such grace in flight, said the bobcat.
I think it's a butterfly, said the fox-girl. See how it flutters.
What hubris, mocking gravity! said the rock with teeth.

@heiseonline Here's an astounding #opinion piece by a freelance journalist who thinks that #Google and #Meta are "desparate", that #Instagram is "dying", and that NOT providing links to #news paywalls is "self-sabotage".

He says valuations of Meta and Google are "bloated by the artificial-intelligence mania". Maybe; but in March he predicted in the same publication that "coders will lose jobs to AI".

"Hoping to burn off the #methane gas that floated up from the newly formed crater, the Soviets lit it on fire [in the 1980s]. They thought it would burn off the methane in a day or two. Five decades later, the crater's still burning.

"The Darvaza gas crater (Turkmen: Garagum ýalkymy), also known as the Door to Hell or Gates of Hell, or, officially, the Shining of Karakum, is a burning natural gas field collapsed into a cavern near #Darvaza, #Turkmenistan. The floor and especially rim of the crater is illumined by hundreds of natural gas fires."

For millennia, #hubris was the cause of tragic results, such as told in Greek Tragedies. Today, hubris is seen as virtuous. The meaning of the word hubris has not changed - attitudes about its results have changed
