Lack of Embarrassment Is a Superpower
Short Definition
Freedom from embarrassment can create a major practical advantage because it supports experimentation, learning, and persuasive repetition.
Expanded Description
Scott Adams often frames embarrassment as a hidden limiter on progress. People who worry less about looking foolish are more likely to test ideas publicly, recover from failure, and keep trying long enough to improve.
In that framing, lower embarrassment sensitivity increases speed of feedback and volume of attempts, which can compound into a real edge.
Persuasion Insight
Persuasion skill improves with repetition. If embarrassment blocks practice, growth slows. Removing that friction can accelerate both communication and execution.
