judging from media reports/biographies, a lot of our "tech heroes" would then have counted as "insecure"?! don't know about that.
i've gotten to know some people who i consider brilliant or at least very, very good at what they do and, judging from my own small sample, they've been all over the place in terms of manners/considerateness. i don't think this is a valid classification scheme...
- timknauf 16y agoYou can be very, very good at what you do and still be insecure.
- reinhardt 16y agoThis sounds almost like a tautology or a "no true Scotsman" argument. If "insecure" <=> "condescending" by definition or "well, if he's bad mannered he can't be really secure", there's not much to argue.
- HSO 16y agotrue, but the juxtaposition should then have been between "insecure" and "secure", not between "insecure" (personality trait) and "excellent" (skill level).
- kunley 16y agoIt's possible that you just may be insecure about your comfort zone of categorizing things ;)
