Some more bullshit to keep me down
There is a lot of solid civil discourse but one thing that I recently awarded the “Bullshit Prize” was the notion that being humble somehow is the best thing since sliced bread.
Google’s idea: Moving from “greed is good” to “being humble” involves a philosophical shift from prioritizing self interest, ambition, and material accumulation to embracing selflessness, contentment, compassion, and recognizing one’s limitations. This transition signifies a movement away from pride-driven competition towards a more cooperative, service-oriented, and content mindset.
From “Greed is Good” (Gordon Gekko ethos)
Core values: Self-interest, ambition, acquisition, competition, entitlement, perceived upward progress via desire.
The reason I call bullshit is that being humble hasn’t gotten me anywhere good. I’m not holding the door open for someone who’s only going to get in line before me for my troubles. Besides when was the last time someone else looked out for me? I know that’s the dick part of this wondering: what’s in it for me? But well, that’s really it right. At some point you have to realize that nice guys finish last and don’t get the girl, the job, or the glory. That’s movie shit that doesn’t happen in real life.
You wanna know who finished first? The one who did.
You wanna know who got the girl (or in my case, the guy)? The one who did.
You wanna know who got the glory? The one who did.
It is time I did!
