Would i do well to abandon humility, and simply assume (or accept) that I'm the most awesome person ever?

I think most people are familiar with the placebo effect. Could it be applied to philosophy? Have I been too hasty in my condemnation of meaningless aphorisms?

Reply:The condition is usually labeled one of the four lower worlds in ancient Indian thought of the ten worlds. The consequence of what you suggest is increasing mental blindness to the impending personal, premature, doom.
Reply:Well I do believe humility is the refuge of the incompetent but.....





If you ARE awesome, you don%26#039;t have to tell yourself you%26#039;re awesome.

More people are familiar with the placebo effect , than they are with humility. The recommendation being, that you abandon meaningless aphorisms.

Reply:people who are like this are very insecure inside.


so they lie to others and even themselves about it.





its not about being modest, its about being and rewarding who you are. its narrow minded and shortsighted if you ask me. they will never know anything past themselves.
Reply:You are completely insignificant. Even the earth itself is microscopic in comparison to some stars, let alone galaxies and the such. Life as we know it is an extremely small part of the universe. You are not as awesome as you think you are.
