The Nobel Prize for Hubris

An excerpt from Closer to the Edge.net - 

Trump Joins the Ranks of Nobel Laureates

For contributions so bold, the truth never stood a chance.

Closer to the Edge

PRESS RELEASE

From the Nobel Committee for Human Catastrophe Studies

Oslo, Norway

The Nobel Committee for Human Catastrophe Studies has the dubious honor of confirming the 47th President of the United States, Donald John Trump, as the recipient of this year’s Nobel Prize for Hubris — the only Nobel distinction awarded not for contributions to humanity, but for what happens when one man decides he is humanity.

After an exhaustive review of global arrogance, the Committee determined that no living individual had demonstrated such persistent, measurable, and self-reinforcing confidence in his own delusion. The laureate’s work in dismantling institutions, ignoring advisors, and publicly contradicting himself while maintaining applause constitutes a monumental leap in the study of performative self-destruction.

The Committee notes that while hubris has long been associated with figures such as Oedipus, Napoleon, and Mussolini, none have displayed Trump’s sheer endurance in failure. Where others faced consequences, he faced cameras. Where others fell, he held a rally. His audacity has transcended psychology and entered the realm of physics, bending space, time, and truth around his gravitational ego.

10 Things My Baby Boomer Mom Was Right About All Along

A mother's wisdom often stands the test of time.

Here are 10 things my baby boomer mom was right about all along:

1. 'Birds of a feather flock together'

"My mom told me once that 'birds of a feather flock together.' I guess it was kind of her warning, like, if his friends have questionable integrity, so will he. Also, look at who he admires — it says a lot about the kind of man he is." — Ana

2. 'The happiest you can be in a relationship is by being independent'

"My mom and sisters haven't always been the best advice-givers when it comes to relationships, but my mentor (who has always felt like a second mom to me) told me that the happiest I can be in a relationship is by being independent and self-supporting, that way I can be with someone because of love and not because of security and stability." — Kai

3. 'Never let a relationship hurt your confidence'

"My mom always tells me the generic stuff that you always hear, but one thing that really sticks with me was right after a breakup when she told me to 'Never let a relationship hurt my confidence.'"

"I couldn't listen to her at the time, but looking back, it was so important for me to hear that. My relationship didn't work out, but that didn't mean I shouldn’t be insecure about myself." — Jessica

4. 'You'll be able to see a man's true self when he has a bad hand or when he's losing'

"Both of my parents are Asian, so their idea of what makes a relationship work isn’t exactly modern or American. My mom told me once that I could tell a lot from a guy’s personality by how he plays mahjong, which is a game of skill, strategy, and calculation. Her point was that I would be able to see a man's 'true self' when he has a bad hand or when he’s losing."

"She meant that I would be able to see how he handled the tough stuff and how that might translate to our relationship." — Shannon

5. 'Don't trust a man who doesn't like dogs'

"I'm really close with my mom, and her two pieces of advice to me when I started dating were: 'Don't trust a guy who doesn't like dogs,' and that 'the way a guy treats his mother is the way he'll treat you.'" — Mariah
