Actually, I think he was mocking people like you, Curtis,
right down to your propensity to make something sinister
out of a self-deprecating gag.
If he says he believes he can cause an earthquake by
meditating, that's hubris.
If he says he *doesn't* believe he can cause an earthquake
by meditating--why, that's hubris too!
And how *dare* he have a sense of humor about himself?
That's the *ultimate* in hubris.
