“Some people are wise only when they are in public.”
“Smart is only a construct of correspondence between one s abilities, one s environment, and one s moment in history. I am smart in the right way, in the right time, on the right end of globalization.”

All these equates to AUTHENTICITY to me. So, yes, I’m probably snobbish too, I judge a person on how I feel about their authenticity.”
“It is only the dumb beast that understands futile gestures – the cold necessity for them, in the face of all the hard truths.
