This is a great post exploring academic environment according to the Gervais Principle. Love more stuff like this.
This is mainly just a note to call out two great comments that I think may add to the theory.
This comment and a reply with new names that I think help talk about the different categories
Sociopath = Ruthless
Clueless = Believer
Loser = Slacker
This comment also points out the overlap between Rao’s theory and psychologist McClelland’s Needs Theory.
Sociopath = Need for Power
Clueless = Need for Achievement
Loser = Need for Affiliation
