How Do You Spot a Wise Man in a Crowd?

[Jaded Sage]

Who talks about it the most, or who is the best at talking about it?

You are the best at talking about it. The answers to all questions relating to the self lie within.

Agreed, good sir! But I don't agree with the statement.

Not just Sartre.

Indeed. Not just Sartre. If we're honest with ourselves we all project a different chosen persona to suit the environment we happen to find ourselves in and we also adapt our forms of language accordingly. I don't see this as being in any way dishonest because I reckon that most of our notions of "Self" are delusional anyway. The Self is an ever-moving feast.

I argue that part of self-cultivation involves getting rid of all fabricated personas.

Is this the right thread? I'm going back and forth and getting confused. It's hard to check on a phone. =(

Its a tacit implication of all existentialism; not a specific doctrine.

It is interesting that the act of what you might call re-inventing yourself, becoming the author of your life, and allowing yourself to become absorbed into the role that you cut out for yourself in life can so easily be seen as being a poseur, especially if the act you are playing is not terribly convincing.

The art of spotting a poseur is part of the game, as the poseur-spotter takes a high ground in that he can claim to observe, what others do not, that the poseur has managed to fool some, but not him. In other words some people are copyists, and thus not "authentic"

Artist have to craft themselves to break into the "art world". There are many I feel are posing and pretend, even to themselves that they are sincere.

It might interest you to know that the word "hypcrite" in the Bible has also been translated as "actor" or, as I say, "poser" or "faker" or "fraud."

SO what?
It does not mean that now does it?

hypo- krises. Literally it means "under" "decide". Chew over that! Words take on metaphorical meanings, like: "under" "stand"?

And what of episteme?

A pontiff is a bridge to heaven.
Words change. New words are born, and some come together to form portmantos?

Just thought you might think that was cool. Few people know it.

It's obvious that it is a Greek word, like other 'hypo-' words, such as hypodermic, hypo-allergenic, hypothermia, hypothesis.

Try angling the mirror at yourself, and not the cat.

Obviously spelling is not important. Don't you mean " excel in linear logic"?
