There’s an impostor syndrome for importance rather than competence. Main symptom is writing yourself into narratives. But unlike competence there’s no fake it till you make it bootstrapping.

You can’t fake your way to importance. Only to dumb consequentiality, like suicide attacks. Importance requires free acknowledgment of significance in other people’s stories.

He’s consequential without being important, that’s what makes him so mad. Despite everything nobody gives a shit about him.
