Which condition, Skip? The incessant yakker, or the cleverly concealed ignorer?

It does not have to be smirking.

It could be some other pattern: that of a holy fool, that of someone I know and like to ponder on, etc. etc.

We internalize modes of existence of people who somehow incorporate what we like or even stand for.
