A PPERSON IS NOT CONDESCENDING just because they are more educated, make better decisions, make more money, are better looking than others.
People who have excelled in life are being totally pretentious by faking false humility or pretending everyone is equal.
We could say some are 'more equal than others.' I dont' know why you play these games, Jim. Years ago you called me a loser and bragged how much money you made as a radio salesman. You did it all the time.
Now you say those are signs of being CONDENSCENDING! I call that projection but its more than that.
What do you think of Trumpsters who simply don't know the difference between being a liar or a truthteller? Of making good presidential decisions or a long string of bad ones?
When we choose between two candidates, we are asked to choose the BETTER ONE. WHen we marry, we choose one we LIKE better. When we choose a salesman, we choose one we thing pays more attention and provides better service. When we watch news, we choose the best team our our favorite or more trusted anchor over the others.
There are millions of people who are uneducated, who make one mistake after another, and others who we see behaving and conclude they demonstrate good judgement and wisdom.
Now comes you preaching wokeness as if we're all the same...so we would presume they should be paid equally, trusted equally, consider they're equally reliable.
But fact is you know that's just not the case. We even test people competitively to grant them jobs, admission into universities, sufficient skills to wash out those from programs we consider them insufficiently qualified.
Would you choose a plumber to do heart surgery on you?
YOur lectures, Jimbo, are ABSURD!
I dont' equate INTELLIGENCE with WISDOM or EXPERIENCE. Sounds like you DO, or are you just saying people shouldn't make comparative judgments OUT LOUD?
Among other issues with you, I would say you've been dealt a large helping of hyocrisy. ANd to others, I think people are IGNORANT who are absolutely TRUMP SUPPORTERS, over ones who support most any other president in history, maybe except for Nixon and Andrew Jackson!
Are you sure the word you should be using IS one who is JUDGMENTAL as opposed to 'CONDESCENDING"
I've interviewed thousands of successful people in my career....and most of them are confident and know they're more successful or accomplished than many others.
I don't call them condescending because they know they're accomplished. They just recognize where they are on the spectrum of human achievement. I will allow tho, that most very bright people also know there are others who are MORE SO.
Some don't. They think they re quite the cat's meow and the treat others they consider beneath them harshly. ITs a common sign of narcissism. We both know some things about that disorder, don't we? I think most narcissists know what they are. And I think most geniuses and most ignoramuses' know what they are too.
Do you think all NFL quarterbacks are the same or are some way better than others? Is there something wrong with the best ones for knowing that they are the best compared to others?
And what about those who THINK they're the best and the smartest, and everyone around them knows they aren't?
LIke Trump, maybe they're all cowboy hat but have no cattle!
