Well, I can scratch him off my list of insightful individuals. I don't know what it is with "success" but it seems to really mess with your mind. I wonder if it's that certain types of "successful" people live in a bubble where everyone is agreeing, cajoling, and otherwise brown-nosing that you start losing touch with reality and cannot think clearly. To say that a bubble cannot be a bubble because the "broader public is not involved" is just flat out stupid. Sure, it's the last stage of a bubble, the defraud the general public stage where the crooks gather up all the money and run for the getaway car, but it's still a bubble.
