Well if I were to reply to you simply that "I am the best" (since I am) it would be shameless self-promotion.
But would it really be a good strategy? Would it not diminish my credibility?
There needs to be something more than just shamelessness. Blatant shamelessness does not really get us very far, I think.

Collectively, no. Individually, yes. It's like lying in a society that hasn't discovered lying yet and takes everything you say as truth. It will leave that society worse off, but it's practically a super power for you.
- galaxyLogic 4y agoI think we should be ashamed of our shortcomings, but not ashamed of our capabilities and accomplishments. "Shamelessness" suggests that it doesn't matter which is the case.
