Default Cessna 172R from Telluride to Aspen

I'm lucky enough to work with a few people who hang around the summit
of Maslow's little triangle most of the time. They, like kooks and
Nobel laureates, seem to tend to cluster.

If you read the article carefully you will note it was NOT published
recently. Also, when 30 MDs are involved in accidents when if
accidents were random across the population the number would have been
a quarter of that is significant.


I think one might conclude certain professions are self selecting for
people with great self assurance and the ego to go with it. As a
matter of interest Mensa members who are not doing well in the general
population seem to exhibit that same ego characteristic: we, the
general population, are at fault for not recognizing and rewarding
their worth. I think, but cannot support the observation, that Anthony
is quite bright, so it's not a surprise that he, as a displaced
American living at the subsistence level in Paris, would have some of
those characteristics.


I'm not sure what drives Max or Bertie, but there seems to be some
pathology there too.


Ever actually met a self-actualised type? I think I can count them on
two fingers.

Who doesn't have a pathology?

Just a bit of a giggle, is all.
