There’s a big difference between confidence and crazed. One is self-assured, reasonable behavior. It is based on self-knowledge and trust in one’s abilities. The other is a sort of loco animation, a jerky cocksure and strident strut designed to convince us that you are much more than the sum of all your parts. It’s loud, audacious, and calculated to win our attention. Crazed is good at distracting us from critical examination.
Crazed also has difficulty accepting responsibility for failure. A significant feature of a person showing this sort of dementia is the ability to defer blame to others. When things start heading south, crazed resorts to threats, verbal abuse, and innuendo.
We find crazed successfully ensconced in positions in politics, at the head of corporate hierarchies, and in tin horn dictatorships.
Most sane and confident people avoid crazed like the plague.

Sort of a “I’ve never make paper from scratch before, but I have a sense of how ones goes about it, so I’m making handmade paper today” sort of thing, eh?! The mistakes that brings about can lead to new things better than the original thing…or a big blinking mess!
Absolutely, but with the twist that if it’s a total disaster it’s your fault, or you are too dumb to realize the masterpiece he’s created.
True!
I agree.
