And that's probably a good thing. There are too many self-aggrandizing jerks in the world already. We don't need more, we need less.
Current trends towards greater transparency are likely to mean that a career as a con-artist is not quite as profitable a business as it may have been in the past. People who make gross exaggerations about their abilities are likely to be uncovered sooner.
Thats only true to a degree. As things get more transparent, the value of exaggeration will decrease and perhaps become negative.
However, the value of saying "pick me" will still be high in many situations. Anywhere where the selection process involves talking to people or asking for volunteers, etc... will still require people to stand up to be seen.
