I know

It’s like fighting nausea. Constantly.

Such consummate know-it-allness.

Someone very wise said of someone who believes himself very wise “he has the amazing mental condition of thinking he's always right”.

I’m curious: how do far-out mainstream management environments cope with such an overwhelmingly acute concentration of collective I-know-best-to-the-power-of-infinity-plus-one-up-on-you Alpha-ness? Why don’t they implode from the ferocious sentience of it?

There has to be a neat chemical equation for this.

I just know there is.

I guess it's the balance...they all keep each other in check. You only survive if you consider each other equals...I think somewhere behind all the arrogance is a mutual acceptance of 'we're all equals'. Of course if the balance is disturbed I think there is always trouble...

some people were just born with an extra sack for vanity lodged into their brain... right where you would find empathy in a normal human mind.

Hmm..that is why the management world and their fat perks are hit below the belt by recession. But the cake is that they know "all and everything" about recession

Prude, I am sure you have heard of "Suckers pay-off" in Nash's 'equilibrium'
