Men with fragile egos, are everything that's wrong with the world right now. #FragileEgo

The other day at work we had a show in who brought along their own very capable sound technician. As I was getting him all set up to run their show in our venue, I showed him how to do some esoteric routing in our #digico console that solved a problem for him.

A little later, I noticed he was running #ReaperDAW for recording the show. He started about tediously adding a track, then clicking through a series of menus to assign the routing, rinse & repeat 40some times.

I said "oh, you're a Reaper fella too, eh?"

"Yeah, it's great and all... but I don't suppose you have any tricks to make this go faster?"

Boy did I.

I showed him how to add all his tracks at once.
How to arm them all at once.
How to use the Routing Matrix to VERY quickly assign channel routing.
How to quickly name all the tracks.

At the end of 2 minutes, he had his reaper file ready to rock and told me "they should double your salary".

While he's not wrong, it got me thinking about other industry pros who protect all their knowledge like gold charms hanging from their belt. I've encountered them, too.

I DID NOT spend decades suffering, bleeding, failing, learning, succeeding, writing my own rules, etc just to have ALL THAT CRAZY COOL SHIT die with me.

Information is for *everyone* and I personally will trip over myself with excitement for any opportunity to pass it along.

At 15-18, I was recruited as a pitcher for a boys' baseball team, subbed for male teams in baseball leagues, bat comps, subbed as sstop, backcatcher & 2nd base. Why? I pitched at 85+mph.

I saw this behaviour a lot, & nonsense we've been seeing in 2024, I'm not surprised. I had male coaches bitching, saying I shouldn't be there. 3yrs I heard it, and I say fuck them.

Let them play. It's their problem if they can't take it.

Trump, Vowing ‘Retribution,’ Foretells a Second Term of Spite - You think? I love the way the bag of hot air projects himself on others. He is not going to be “your” retribution. He is going after his on retribution. #trump #petty #fragileego #insecure #vindictive https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/07/us/politics/trump-2024-president.html

@nuns To start, the content could be boiled easily into one paragraph. #FragileEgo
