They actually believe they are geniuses. More than the stories about their own greatness, is the level of Energy they have to run around telling the stories non stop come what may. And promoting people who do so. That's the biggest factor in what stories stay alive and what stories are forgotten. Someone has to constantly bang the drum. Frequency matters more than anything. Who beats the drum the most? People who have the most energy and no other work or capacity to do any other work. Someone or group with matching energy has to then waste their lives running behind this over energetic army to neutralize the effect. Who is going to do that full time> No one sane.
