Yet you are willing to cast ridiculous assertions about groups of people - stating as fact as though you are the canonical source of truth.

Seems like you define projection.
See if you can find a way to get a colleague or two to tell you what they honestly think of you. I'm sure you will be surprised at how they judge you. The trouble is getting honest feedback - people say they want it but few people receive it well so over time most people learn not to give their opinions.
I read a relevant comment today from Madmallard that rings true: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39661279 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39661279
One of the joys of HN is that many commenters can be thoughtfully blunt.
Moderator also asks that we avoid doing "internet psychology diagnosis": https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38589525 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38589525 - this thread is not good and I'm not helping sorry...
- DSingularity 3y agoDo you think the world will be better off if, let’s say, all these powerful super geniuses dedicated 5% of their time to deeply consider questions like “should I be building this” or “should I be working for this corporation”? With the same enthusiasm and rigor that they dedicate to their craft. If you don’t see how many of these types are so immersed in their craft that they are oblivious to their impact on the world then you really haven’t interacted with many high-functioning types. If you have I encourage you to try and discuss these types of things with them.
