We are very lucky that cryptobros are arrogant to the point of having a god complex.
In surgeons it means they have the confidence to perform some of the most difficult tasks a human being can undertake and is a net positive even though it makes them difficult to be around.
With cryptobros it makes them easier to catch after their schemes inevitably blow up because in their arrogance they refuse to consider than anyone could ever be smart enough to catch on to them.
- lukas099 4y agoI do not want my surgeon to 'have a god complex'. I want them to reasonably weigh the relative risks and payoffs of every job.
- RandomLensman 4y agoIf the surgery is risky but the right thing, you might want people willing to take a risk in the belief they can do it and not ruin some success statistic. Might not be a "god complex" but quite a lot of confidence and ability not to panic.
- lukas099 4y agoYes, and I want my surgeon who takes good risks and doesn't take bad ones.
- rocket_surgeron 4y agoMy surgeon had (well, has, but also had) a god complex and pulled off one of the riskiest surgical procedures currently performed. Now I can walk. Hooray for god complexes!
- klyrs 4y agoMy dad's surgeon had a god complex and performed a surgery within an hour of getting off a transpacific flight, confident that he'd be immune sleep depravation and jet lag. My dad died because the surgeon cut something he shouldn't have cut. Glad you can walk though.

- klyrs 4y agoAs much as I love being called adorable at my advanced age, I have no clue what you're on about and I'm morbidly curious.

- klyrs 4y agoOh, I see. Capitalization is a matter of style, actually, and not grammar. https://apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines https://apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines My curiosity has waned. But damn. You chose my comment about my father's death as your soapbox? Keep it classy, friend. May He take pity on you.
- Maursault 4y ago> You chose my comment about my father's death as your soapbox? What?! Sorry for your loss, but you are either gravely mistaken or intellectually dishonest, as I did no such thing.
- eindiran 4y agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God_complex https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God_complex Wikipedia has it uncapitalized throughout the article. From Wiktionary[0]: """ The word "God" is capitalized in reference to the Abrahamic deity of the Jewish, Christian, and Islamic faiths almost without exception, even when preceded by various qualifiers. The term is frequently, but not always, capitalized in vaguer deistic references to a single deity as well. """ This is a usage of the second type. Unless you think the surgeons in question are specifically _THE_ Abrahamic God? [0] https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/God#English https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/God#English
- spacephysics 4y agoI don’t think this is an illustration of “crypto bros”, I think it’s a typical narcissistic tendency mixed with amphetamines. There’s been numerous other scandals where we look back and could say “do you think we’d really be that stupid?” But then again that’s a cognitive bias, because we only know of the scams/fraud that have failed
