David Brooks Talks Trump And Humility Ahead Of Missoula Lecture
And this is a real quote. From the most un-self-aware carbon-based life form currently being paid vast sums of money to share his political insights with the rest of the Universe:
"To me, humility is not thinking lowly of yourself," Brooks says. "My favorite definition is, 'it's radical self-awareness from a position of other-centeredness."Just thought you should know.
wtf does that even mean?
ReplyDeleteHe certainly has no idea.
DeleteAnd the sad truth is he knows he's screwing the pooch.
So to say.
He’s long been someone who spews meaningless platitudes in all his book and many of his Op/Eds. GIGO.
ReplyDeleteThe UChi Blather-O-Matic has sprung a sprocket. ( And not for the first time)
ReplyDeleteGood morning, Mr. Glass.
ReplyDeleteSeems Mr. Brooks is using the same dictionary that Ivanka Trump found "complicit" in.
Be seeing you.
Dude, does he ever sound like Deepak Chopra, eh?
ReplyDeleteI cannot accurately convey in text the face I made upon reading that.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I got your other-centeredness right here, pal...your other-nuckleheadedness, that's what you got right there, pal...or was that other-muttonheadedness, or...other-whatthefuckheadedness, or...
ReplyDeleteDavid Brooks never fails to justify my abysmally low opinion of him every chance he gets.
ReplyDeleteOK, so all this time he's been urging humility on us, what he really wants is for us to see him the way he sees himself. And we'll be ennobled by this somehow. Sure Dave, I'll get right on that.
ReplyDeleteReads the same backwards as well as forwards yes?
ReplyDeleteMakes one wonder why, DFB hasn't been scooped up as one of Trump's best, smartest people?
ReplyDeleteCo inhabiting the illustrious position with Sarah ( truth objector) Hucklebee.
They would make the finest communications team in Trump history.
