[MD] Our Achilles Heel ?

[ian glendinning]

Hi MoQ'ers. Sounds familiar ?

A personal piece from Alan Rayner (over on Friends of Wisdom).

I think this is a telling quote

"The more sensitive amongst us are aware of our pseudocompetence and
can suffer from Achilles Syndrome. The less sensitive assume positions
of authority, which they protect with the utmost zeal against any deep
form of enquiry that might undermine their fragile foundations."
