If you’re
not allowed to point out Irony, is that a paradox? Does not admitting something make it go away?

Are all the wrong people being humble?
My concept of the value of humility was changed by understanding
that one's own humility is powerless in the face of people who have none. "Joey", with his crew, had said they could build a fence; unfortunately,
none of them had ever heard of a fencing tool. Worse, nobody had absorbed
high school geometry, much less vectors.
After Joey had screamed at his teen age son a few times, I told the son
he'd be better off with a different father (so much for MY humility).
Joey's single competent worker; I told: “Get a new boss.”
I guess, paradoxically, I'm saying that some people are humbler
than others, and maybe, they shouldn't be. It just doesn't work.
I’m not saying that it’s me, but just maybe, some of the time, the
wrong people are choosing to be humble; at the worst possible time.
At the so-called Covid19 press briefing in April, Dr. Brix allowed
the idiot, Donald Trump, to look her in the eye and suggest that people should
inject disinfecting products into their bodies, and subject themselves to
ultraviolet light irradiation in order to save themselves from dying from the
virus. THIS was a violation of her Hippocratic
Oath. She chose to “humble herself” before the ignorance,
stupidity, hubris (the opposite of humility), and the misinformation from Donald Trump that killed people.
She should have stood, taken the mic from him and said: "Don't do this; this man is an idiot." No one could have substantively argued with her assessment. She was way way too humble.
If humility is strength, then it has to be exercised.

The wrong people are being humble.
The right people are acting humble at exactly the wrong time.
Is that “IRONIC”?
