Quick question: is that proper usage of "parsimoniously"? I've only seen it used as a synonym for "stingy," which is close, but not quite the same as the "succinctly" synonym usage here. But I'm aware that regions and time periods drift in word usage, so you aren't necessarily wrong.

"Being incredibly impulsive" may seems straightforwardly "true" but it does not look "sufficient" as explanation to me. Maybe The truth is somewhere in the middle. I don't know.

- CrypticShift 4y agoAgreed. But this is not about wisdom. It is about how you get to the top by being strategically calculating and manipulative, all the fucking time. These people are there because they are a herd of wolves, not sages.
