The Anonymous Cathedral Builders

Can we all agree that being the architect or chief-builder for one of the greatest expressions of the Western soul and one of the monuments of western achievement, and then not even so much as signing your name on it, is the kind of bad a** that can only be expressed with expletives? That is all.

The correlation of narcissism with antisocial behavior is as well documented as anything in the behavioral sciences at this point. Just consider the antisocial behavior of the highly narcissistic Han Solo.
In my own experience, taking time to tell people how awesome you are and how their feeble skills are no match for your own is an unnecessary distraction from the task at hand. It’s called “monologuing” and it’s brought down many a Dark Lord. Several items on Peter’s Evil Overlord List address this danger.
On a more tangential note, a signature has been found on the greatest cathedral of them all. At least if you squint your eyes just right.
