When Nerds Attack: Badfellas - The Murder of Jared Whaley

Published: May 7, 2021, 7 a.m.

b'On the HBO series The Sopranos, retired mob boss Uncle Jun says, \\u201cSome people are so far behind in a race that they actually believe they\\u2019re leading.\\u201d He was talking about hubris, I think, the temptation to convince yourself you\\u2019re king of the mountain, when really everybody\\u2019s snickering behind your back. What goes hand in hand with that kind of arrogance, of course, is a seething well of jealousy and paranoia. Commit the unforgivable sin of being cooler, or smarter, or stronger than me, and I won\\u2019t be able to rest until I\\u2019ve cut you down to size.
