Koonze: I came across a thirty-year study of 15,000 people who earned all or a significant part of their income through creative writing of one kind or another - and the headline was: EIGHTY PERCENT OF WRITERS EXHIBIT EVIDENCE OF SCHIZOPHRENIA AND MEGALOMANIA. When I showed it to my wife, she said. "Can you believe it's only eighty percent?"

Well, my guess is that at least 15% are able to hide those tendencies from their friends and family.
If you do self-diagnose with hypochondria, you should treat it with placebos. Speak to your pharmacist.
The modern day equivalent would be:
EIGHTY PERCENT OF SOCIAL MEDIA USERS EXHIBIT EVIDENCE OF SCHIZOPHRENIA AND MEGALOMANIA
(and that includes AIs!)

(Does watching this forum count as social media usage?)
(No, I believe you'd have to post something to reveal schizophrenic or megalomaniac tendencies.)
Now get out of my head and let me further my plan for global domination :-)

Unless you have a cat sat on your lap, I'm not going to take you seriously.....
A self assured cat will sit on the keyboard when it decides it's time for attention.
Alas, I know that all too well. Mine would sit on my lap with their forelegs on the keyboard and their chin on the spacebar...
The twats.

Why? People with cats on their laps are always foiled by James Bond.

And they are foiled by James Bond because they are taken seriously. You wouldn't set a superspy on a nobody of consequence, would you?
Nah, it would read "80 PERCENT OF POLITICIANS EXHIBIT EVIDENCE OF SCHIZOPHRENIA AND MEGALOMANIA!

That's underwhelming - these days 100% of politicians are on social media, so that percentage merely reflects society as a whole.

The rest are better at lying.
I spent a couple years of my career lobbying different levels of government on behalf of my employer and a trade association. A veteran of that trade told me early on something I've never forgotten: "All politicians are whores." At first I thought it was a bit harsh but the longer I had contact with them (the politicians) the more I realized the truth of it. Money is everything. They love you until a better offer comes along. Rules don't apply to them, in their minds. I'm sure you can think of other similarities. I only know what hookers are like based on movies, novels, and SOL.
