I would even make the case that self-awareness and success may be inversely correlated in fact.
I've heard many people say similar things over the years... Why is that? Is it some kind of kin selection? Is this total lack of self-awareness a requirement for getting into positions of power?
It's so obvious, I even wonder if they're just pretending to be hypocrites? It seems so simple and obvious, how can they not see the logical contradiction?
Are most of our leaders complete nutjobs?
Maybe humanity is a hierarchy with all the nutjobs at the top, mirroring back their insanity inside their filter bubbles; not realizing that their lives have nothing to do with reality.
It's probably a lop sided u-shape. Most people lacking in self-awareness are either really smart or true outcasts, with 'high conscientious + good communicators' occupying most middle management ... but it does take a kind of hubris sometimes to overlook one's faults, even worse, to completely ignore them otherwise. Without being controversial I see hints of this in Jobs, Ellison, Trump, Musk, Page, Zuck etc. (again I'm not condemning here, if any one of us put our thoughts online consistently there'd be a few we would seriously regret).
