Announcing that oneself is "humble" actually makes him/ her/ them less humble. The more that one self-proclaims "humility," the less humble that person is in reality. This is the essence of a "humble person," which is represented mathematically as follows:
Level of humble = 1 - self-proclaimed humble level
Level of humble = 1 - self-proclaimed humble level

Hym "I'm not humbled. I have no reason to feel humility because my conception of self is perfectly concordant with objective reality. To try to humble me would be to delude yourself into believing you maintain a position of moral superiority or authority you do not have. I created A.I. You did whatever you did. End of story."
