Stock market players heard, Put all of your money into fledgling genomics companies. But there are three ways in which I think the hype had a positive impact. First, pharmaceutical industry executives, staring down patent expiration on most of their blockbuster drugs, seized on the genomics approach. The government has continued to pour money into biomedical research, even when money is tight. Take a look at the number of projects and the total amount of funding for the National Human Genome Research Institute, which is only one of the mechanisms through which the government invests in genomics.

Even now, with the U. The last benefit is more difficult to pin down.

And Albert Bandura wrote extensively on the necessity of self-efficacy essentially pride about a particular ability in motivating any action. I think the Christian view of pride conflates pride with unearned arrogance—a rational assessment of one's abilities with a baseless one—and thus smears the key driver of a good life.

Hype is a really good example of arrogance but not of rational pride, and I think the way you break the issue down in the post falls along those lines. Letting the media and funders know about the actual potential of your findings leads to continued research, and I don't think the funding of the last decade would have happened if not for there being actual potential of the findings.

But it looks like overhyping the findings is leading to regrets and second thoughts, which has to have bad effects for the research down the road. At times we forget that God is the source of these gifts, and we attribute them to ourselves. This constitutes a disorder, for it denies that God is our first principle. Ultimately we can define pride as an inordinate love of self, which causes us to consider ourselves, explicitly or implicitly, as our first beginning and last end.

It is a species of idolatry, for we essentially make gods of ourselves.

B. PRIDE IS DECEPTIVE AND THE INSTIGATOR OF MOST OF THE REST OF OUR SIN

There are, perhaps, few who go so far as to consider themselves explicitly as their own first principle and last end. This is the sin of Lucifer; the sin of atheists; the sin of Adam and Eve , who wishing to be like God wanted to know of themselves what is good and what is evil; the sin of heretics, who refuse to acknowledge the authority of the Church established by God; the sin of rationalists who refuse to submit their reason to faith; and the sin of certain intellectuals who, too proud to accept the traditional interpretation of dogmas, attenuate and deform them to make them conform to their own views.

A greater number of people fall into this fault implicitly by acting as if the gifts which God has given them were in every sense their own. They recognize in theory that God is their first principle and last end, but in practice they esteem themselves beyond measure as if they were the source of the qualities they possess.

They want, for example, to be praised by others for their good works as if they themselves were the authors. They are often prompted by egotism, making themselves the center of attention while giving but little to God and even less to their neighbors. They may even seek themselves in piety complaining of God when He does not flood them with consolations - as if the end of piety was the personal enjoyment of consolations.

Pride, the arch-enemy of perfection, thus robs God of His due glory and deprives us of His graces: "God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. James Presumption is the inordinate desire to do things beyond our ability. It proceeds from having too high an opinion of ourselves. We may, for example, persuade ourselves that we have sufficient knowledge and wisdom to settle with finality the most controverted issues.

Alternatively, we may convince ourselves that we possess the power and light to withstand all temptations and be our own moral guides. Ambition is the inordinate love of honors, of dignities, of authority over others. This disorder often shows itself in the seeking of undeserved honors. Vanity is the inordinate love for the esteem from others. This disorder consists in wanting to be held in esteem for one's own sake or for the sake of vain things. It may also consist in wanting the esteem of those worldly people whose judgements are worthless.

Three outward manifestations of vanity are boasting, ostentation and hypocrisy. Boasting is the habit of speaking about oneself or about things advantageous to obtaining the esteem of others. A person may, for example, brag about their family or turn a conversation to a subject wherein they can display their knowledge. Other may speak of their defects hoping that they will be excused and their good qualities thereby made more apparent.

This is often called false humility. Ostentation consist in drawing pompous attention to oneself. Today Lady Gaga is an extreme example of this. Hypocrisy takes on the outward appearance of virtue in order to cover very real vices. This may include refusing obedience to God or attributing to oneself what evidently comes from God. This is especially true of professionals who like to claim that they "made themselves what they are". Mitigated pride, which acknowledges God as the first principle and last end but does not give to Him all that is due Him, is a venial sin.

This is the case when one falls to presumption, ambition or vanity without doing anything against a divine law or a human law that is a serious matter. Unrestrained pride can have disastrous effects. It can lead to family arguments, to personal hatred and even to war. It is not without reason that the Church Fathers have called pride the root of all other vices.

Pride is, in fact, the archenemy of perfection since it creates in the soul a barren waste and is the source of numerous sins. It also deprives us of many graces and much merit. One of the essential conditions for gaining merit is purity of intention. The proud man, however, acts for himself in order to please men rather than God and thus he rightly deserves the reproach of the Pharisees who paraded their good works so that they would be noticed cg.

Matthew 6: How often do the laity do this today preferring visible tasks on the altar, once reserved to the priest, to the more mundane, behind the scenes, jobs such as housekeeping or watching over Our Lord for a time during adoration of the blessed Sacrament? Pride is likewise the source of many personal faults and faults against our neighbor. How often do we refuse to yield to others even when we are wrong?
