That's easy: Phil is a textbook narcissist...and I know that word has been thrown around so Goddamn much, it's lost it's meaning, but Phil is every sense of the word a narcissistic person. On a social psychology scale, Phil is the "king of mount stupid" a la Dunning-Kruger effect. He has extremely high confidence in a subject he knows ZERO about, but when it comes to hands on, it's "Uhhh, it's bugged, dood. I did nothing wrong." I wouldn't trust Phil to manage a bowling alley at 2AM, let alone write anything code related.Jesus Christ how does Phil even manage how to be so ignorant yet confident he knows how games work on a programmatic level and say games shouldn't have bugs but in the same breath state they have a million moving pieces.
Phil is the master of his own demise, however, he is so pigheaded - pun intended - that he cannot see past his own errors. The world fucked him over, yet, he did nothing wrong. He loves burning his own house down, even while holding the gas can, he will still scream "Bugged gas mechanics, dood!" My favorite mistake he made was when he opened up a bottle of water, spilled some on himself, and said "They overfilled it at the factory."
There's a Library of Alexander levels of small events that Phil did that led him to where he is now, yet, he is SO damn confident on his abilities. I'm willing to bet money that he HONESTLY thinks he can be a CEO of a Fortune 1000 company and make it profitable. Hell, he once said that he honestly thinks that he could get a middle manager position at somewhere like Microsoft. What makes him qualified? He has a business degree and he run's his YouTube business. My other favorite piece of lore is when thinks he's in good shape because he can lift up a gallon of milk.
While false, he's so pigheaded and stuck in his own head that he can do anything with the confidence of an expert, while barely being a amateur in anything and everything.
