The following 1 minute clip is Hamilton Morris on Joe Rogan’s podcast. It speaks for itself,,, He mentions virtue signaling. Virtue signaling was and probably still is mixed in with my psychological blind spot at times,,,,

I’ve recently had a realization concerning virtue signaling. It was a topic discussed some here in the forum around the time I joined in 2017, I think it was. It’s really such a simple phenomena/concept to me now. That informs me that it was connected in some way to my psychological blind spot.  I associate it with being insecure and the need for reassurance. 
Looking at actualization of potential in terms of states and stages of consciousness really broadens the frame of reference to where one can view one’s deficiencies in contrast to one’s strengths or virtues. Along with states and stages of consciousness,-lines of development- can be mixed in to study where one is at and just as important is the question- what or how do you want to improve? What capacities? I really don’t care about my public speaking ability or a display of charisma. If someone only knows me through my writing on this journal. They will probably be completely disappointed meeting me in person. I’m very deadpan and non-expressive for the most part. But then again, my personality will morph depending on the company I’m with. To a degree,,, IMO- Human beings have an expansive latitude in their possible display of multi-dimensional characteristics. Shallow or surface level, specific, deep, paradoxical, serious, average, complex, light hearted, paranormal, or maybe just simple and easy going.
