How is Langan thought of as a smart guy? I can't read further because this guy to me is either a grifter or suffering from mental illness. The linked interview doesn't surprise me at all, daily wire readers/listeners are just as gullible and exploitable as people who would think that Langan is smart.
Every smart person I've met in life so far has known that humility is key if you want other smart people to take you seriously. And to let your work speak for yourself.
It's somewhat similar to those YouTubers who help homeless people on camera. It's a paradox where if it's done on film it seems more self serving than generous but if it wasn't on film no one would know.
But there is a difference. Instead of going on film, smart people can produce actual works for others to read and validate.

Its not really a problem, and its old - its mentioned in the Bible (obviously not videos, but doing good publicly for status).
- sureglymop 11mo agoNothing is wrong with no one knowing technically. Which is kind of the point. The desire to tell everyone how smart/generous you are is what makes others think you're a grifter and fraud (even if not), which is what an intelligent person would know and thus avoid.
- ninininino 11mo ago> humility is key if you want other smart people to take you seriously Why assume he wants other smart people to take him seriously more than he wants to be authentic?
