But without the ego nothing would get done. Say I'm your field you at a point have to go with your "gut" as they say otherwise nothing will happen and a patient has a poor outcome. So there is a time and a place for the self but maybe not in academia as much

The crazy thing is we all do it. I disregarded good and compelling arguments by less experienced foresters and resource management ppl. My hepatologist is doing it to me now. The role of the "self" in the application of knowledge is a funny thing. Ego hides in any dark corner it can find

I was one of six that remained persuaded by Jean-Pierre Faye arguments than prof's criticism. It made him furious and the angrier he got the more I dug my heals in. I spent a week writing a paper citing Faye's previous essays Théorie du récit and Langages Totalitaires as arguments...

I know nothing about any of these people but I know with a high level of certainty that the green jacket has definitely committed SA atleast once in his life.

'The Shittles'

I was just going to say, lots of Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris energy on either end of thar that group. The two in the middle look like over zealous "the doors" fans who spend their days stalking Ray Manzarek and professing that Jim Morrison is still alive

"Horseshoe theory" 💯 that is the perfect term for it.
