Every place full of ambitious people is full of liars, but I've lived in several such places and overall the ratio of lying to ambition here is lower than anywhere else I've found. There are a lot more posers in New York and LA and Cambridge than there are in SV.
- pacificleo1 14y agosame is true for india and other asian countries too
- defen 14y agoNew York poser: Lies about how much money they have, how much they enjoy investment banking/BigLaw, the cool bands they know, etc LA Poser: Lies about being friends with celebrities, deals they're working on, movies they're making etc Cambridge poser: ??? How many books they've read? How many ancestors came over on the Mayflower?
- rdl 14y agoPosers in Cambridge? I assume you mean in the Boston finance/brahmin/etc. world, or maybe in "academia", not in engineering programs or the tech world. MIT grad students seem pretty transparent about what they're doing, what impact it could have, etc.
