Does that make sense? Well, it does, because that's and I'll be getting into that a little bit more in my is that pride is an internal feeling, but that usually also comes from an external additional feeling that you said that I feel that I did good, but it also needs other people saying you did good.

It's a car crash of those two things that can be sometimes really easy, sometimes really hard, especially in a non-performing situation for both of those to feel because I think you really do need both of those. That's what makes it partly authentic pride versus hubristic.

Wait, who is Dr. Tracy?

It's like a friend of the show. It's how you made it sound like. Dr. Tracy, who's in the other room?

Right, because one comes from inner strength. The other one is trying to pretend, look how much inner strength I have. So one is radiating, authentic pride is radiating into yourself, right? Hubristic pride exists only to radiate out to others.

Because they're just- They're just – they're bailing emotional water all the time.

Right. It's a band-aid. Social behavior. You're just trying to fill in all the holes. God, if there was ever anyone in the news that represented that kind of hubristic, I just can't – nothing comes to mind. That's so interesting.

And I've been thinking about that a lot. The idea of hubristic versus authentic pride, not as much that, but the idea of taking every sin or every virtue and seeing if you can break it apart. That too often, I think I've always thought of things as either good or bad. While I live most of my life in an area of gray, I've taken certain words and not tried to pick them apart.

I don't have an example for you. I just, I want to always keep that in mind. There can be jealousy, for instance, like, well, here, let's keep going because this gets in to a new thing of there's a good part that can come from envy or jealousy. Because for my segment, I talked about a socially. Oh, real quick. I should have said this up front.

Avid listeners will notice that it sounds like I swallowed all of the gravel in this episode. I was suffering from not this episode, the episode that you're listening to. I was suffering from a terrible sore throat that I got. You will remember from saving orphans in a fire. So that's why I sound so eye-wateringly terrible whenever I talk.

Anyways, for my segment, I talked about a social experiment by psychology professor David Desteno that involved using pride as a motivator for harder or better work. So not sitting on your laurels, but instead using pride to help you do better work. I am not proud of how long it took me to explain the experiment in this episode. In the multiverse, I'm still explaining it.
