Wow, great share! And good timing: I have an upcoming work talk on "Overcoming imposter syndrome and negative self-talk," and my first slide is going to say "imposter phenomenon" instead.
Also, I need to find a "safe" corporate way to incorporate this quote 😆
“Capitalism needs us all to feel like impostors, because feeling like an impostor ensures we’ll strive for endless progress: work harder, make more money, try to be better than our former selves and the people around us.”

“Is imposterdom a syndrome, or just part of what it means to be human?”
Good point. My guess is the latter.
