The main condition for the achievement of love is the overcoming of one's narcissism. The narcissistic orientation is one in which one experiences as real only that which exists within oneself, while the phenomena in the outside world have no reality in themselves, but are experienced only from the viewpoint of their being useful or dangerous to one. The opposite pole to narcissism is objectivity; it is the faculty to see other people and things as they are, objectively, and to be able to separate this objective picture from a picture which is formed by one's desires and fears. ↗

— Erich Fromm

What baseball managers did do, on occasion, beginning in the early 1980s, was hire some guy who knew how to switch on the computer.

Which one you pay off is largely irrelevant. ↗

It's impossible to work under conditions where they confused negativity with objectivity. You can't fool the fans. ↗
