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.

He’s actually the prime example I am thinking of. I don’t think you understood the consequentiality versus importance point. You’re consequential when you matter. You’re important if you matter the way you think you do. Hence the crowd size anxiety etc.

I can see the nuance here but again millions of people (enough to elect him President) disagree with your opinion here. Hard to say he isn’t “important” in a meaningful way to at least millions of people if not empirically.

By the standards of the presidency, he’s dead last. Basically nobody around him likes him. They treat him like a natural disaster rather than a human being. To be managed rather than followed. He’s something between a lolcow and a message to his base, a tool rather than a leader.
