[Amps] Narcissism everywhere (almost)

[Robert Sands]

Interesting to see this topic here but it is really everywhere because we all evolve from primal narcissism. Life experience and being wrong and learning from experience  attenuate the narcissism (youthful grandiosity) and replace it with wisdom and reality testing. Pathological narcissism prevents learning and the humility of realization how little we know. Unfortunately, the bombasity and arrogance of the pathological narcissist makes many feel secure and protected so they are given high station, although this is being flushed out recently by social process. In the military, narcissists are weeded out by actual results and high stakes that humble even the most arrogant. Life is the best therapy for narcissits.

 So I would say “take the log out of your eye before you take the splinter out of mine” is useful guidance in railing against narcissism. There is plenty of narcissism to go around so learn to live with it (and deal with it, not roll over to it) and stay on the path of truth, science and maturity. It is a great way to live!
