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

I love childlike hubris at any age. Magic comes from people doing things they are told cannot be done. Huge fan of hubris fueled dreamers and underdogs 

There is another kind of hubris I see that stems from extraordinary success, money and power. I always wonder what # of one’s net worth triggers the brain rot kind of hubris. The kind that would throw humanity under the bus to attain more and more
