    Hello athenonrex,
    I enjoyed the signature 'every villain is the hero of his own story'. (I
    have taken the liberty of correcting the spelling of 'villain')

    Is it the function of our egos to make our narrative of ourselves
    coherent even at the cost of rewriting memory/history in a manifestly
    revisionist version?

    I know some highly intelligent and usually scrupulously honest people
    who have done this from time to time, seemingly quite unconsciously. I
    suspect we ALL do this occasionally.

    It seems to happen when we behave 'out of character'. It's perhaps worth
    noting that, in dramatic or written works, characters who are perfectly
    consistent in all their thoughts and actions are commonly perceived as
    'cardboard cutouts' and not very credible.

    Best Regards
    Blunderov

    you are conceited. very conceited, if i may say so myself.
    overly-conceited, if there is such a thing as "under-conceited" i
    mean...

    and, well, i don't expect you to respond negatively to this (something i

    think not be expecting out of my own foolishness, perhaps...), i mean...
    you *DID* tell us to call you conceited, after all...
