@KevinSimler proposed name for self-delusional crony beliefs: Nepotistic Beliefs
-
that could work, although i tend to see self-delusion as an extension of externally-imposed cronyism. this is hard to tweet ab tho!
best I can do is quote Trivers: "We deceive ourselves the better to deceive others."

maybe more dangerous not in deceit but in impact? Using job metaphor, crony might be a biz analyst, nepotistic hires are execs.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
