Living a rather isolated life on a quasi remote mountain, two alpha personalities from the Zero Hedge arena can easily crash into the other one's massive ego. It can be a delicate operation because we both admit we have big fat egos in play, thus implying we have our own behavior well in hand lol.
Indeed perhaps the biggest trick the devil ever played was convincing us we could "control" and set aside our egos.
