Incisive analysis

You nailed it, dude. I want a steel trap mind in my next life. But consider this: maybe some of these self-help swamis don’t know how mediocre they are. Some idiots might believe they’re passing along something useful. We’ve all worked with people so dumb, they didn’t know how dumb they were. We have an intuitive grasp of the Dunning-Kruger findings. Love that illustration of mirrored recursion, by the way. Brilliant example of the Droste effect. André Gide called it mise en abyme. Don’t ask me how to pronounce that.
