      I support people I admire & respect. If I have a personal bond with them, I promote their work extra hard. But I also have a brain of my own

      I'm not an acolyte. I'll promote good ideas even from obnoxious ppl & reject bad ideas even from lovely people.

      I'm not going to do internal politics & hierarchy. Life is too short & I'm not an ambitious person so I'm spared this conflict of interests.

      I'll never clam superiority over anyone coz of academic qualifications or status within circles &I won't tolerate anyone trying that with me

          Because some of the most brilliant & insightful ppl never went to university & some of the most stupid & narrow have PhDs & tenure.

          Equally, some of the most brilliant ppl have little recognition & few followers whilst absolute brainless idiots have millons.

          This should not be interpreted to mean I deny expertise exists & think all ideas equal. It does exist & ideas vary greatly in merit.

          I just don't want to be told 'You belong to this intellectual community so you must defer to these people & align your ideas with theirs.'

          No, I mustn't. Some prominent people in my circles have really bad ideas. I want to be able to say so w/out hating or being hated by them.

          Oh, I don't know.I'm probably overstating the problem but I'm not remotely diplomatic let alone Machievellian so I just wish we cld simplify

          I'm just tired of it. Tired of ambition & competitiveness & hierarchy & politics in circles which pride themselves on being all about ideas.
