No, it isn't, but for some reason, that's the modern usage. Maybe the root of an extreme. Interesting observation on hoisting oneself on a radically pessimistic petard. I see a lot of this type of wretchedness these days. And yes, humility and self-awareness. It is really amazing to me how some have so much hubris. My politics is certainly mixed and always has been, but I am absolutely opposed now to the Rs who I view as the party of death.
