I’ve been burned by my own hubris more times than I can count

But the source of my hubris (hubris?) is a sort of naive willingness / confidence (ok I don’t agree with this choice of words: hubris, maybe looking at it more like a child like wonder) - and it shouldn’t be put down, if anything it should be encouraged and cultivated further - you should look foolish and just generally do things whether you look foolish or not 

I think when you are an actual child you’re often given some leeway for your shortcomings - ah look July is a child how fun it is that he is making these mistakes. As you get older people become a bit more tight, and less open to failure. That’s a shame, that can be remedied easily imo

creating and destroying; built flying cars & autonomous vehicles, now building /faust, more here: /july, web: july.rocks

I agree with this, we were not raised correctly, so now our ego is suppressed, but it should be in moderation!
