I definitely agree with the premise of the article that narcissism takes away value instead of adding value. Being calculative, cold and even disloyal at an individual level does not make someone a narcissist, it can be a very altruistic and idealistic thing in fact. For example, firing untalented employees to make room for more talented, hard working ones is altruistic IMO. If everyone did this, the system would work really well and everyone would be better off (even the lazy, untalented people would be better off thanks to universal improvements in productivity). I think nepotism is a huge problem now. At scale, loyalty to specific individuals can be downright evil. Loyalty must only be given on the basis of shared values and principles. Criminals can be extremely loyal to each other but they have no shared values aside from mutual self-preservation.
