Nothing like a bit of the old me-so-stupid routine to lower someone's guard.
Clever but probably ineffective in this case. Trying to remove specks from other peoples' eyes in such a direct fashion is rarely fruitful and often produces backlash, unless they want to hear it, like you just said you do (thus inviting this here post).
Come on, Philalethist. There's humility and then there's the illusion of humility. Your illusory humility matches your illusory stupidity wonderfully.
Edit: In the sake of fairness and justice, all entities using the forum now have permission to criticise me in unbridled fashion.
Damn, I should probably buy more effective eye speck tweezers... and mirror to use them with! A little self-deprecating humor can be helpful when curbing one's pride (Dante take notes!), it helps not to take oneself too seriously (or anything for that matter), and so teasing oneself is useful! Although this is surely all just an elaborate attempt by my ego to show off how humble I am! It's hard though you know? How is someone as incredibly smart and wise as me supposed to realistically take on the herculean task of realizing that all thoughts of superiority and specialness are illusions? (Sigh) It sure is hard being me.
lol. You might be confusing pride for consistency of integrity. Good try though
