Big Mouths/Small Brains

Why do the most bombastic voices always come from the fuzziest thinkers?

I guess they're desperately trying to convince themselves. They're essentially shouting at themselves (clearer thinkers convince themselves via subtler means - i.e. thinking). If you step back and view everything with some distance, it's shocking to realize how much human communication is actually self-directed. I honestly think it's close to 95%. Maybe a lot more.


It's so adorable to hear people describe certain other people as "narcissistic". It's like birds diagnosing each other as "flighty".
