The Five Stages of the Blowhard Curve
- The cave of near-silent wisdom. People in this section have a wealth of knowledge but mostly keep it to themselves.
- Brilliance hill. Some people speak selectively, but what they say is a revelation.
- Salience summit. The ideal point is where people are masters of knowing when to speak and when to decline speaking opportunities.
- The pundit's segment. They accept all invitations and speak about topics outside of their expertise.
- Blowhard territory. They believe their wisdom will help them in unknown territory, thereby losing the authority they've built up in their field.
