This is just fetishization of a disorder's side effect, a sort of blindness not unlike sociopathic tendencies, known to drive people to the top. There is a price to be paid for this, and it's the inability to see the bigger picture. The inability to see the world holistically. The inability to see the forest. It creates shallow, surfacy social dynamics devoid of meaning. In our case it created one devoid of a future too. One can thrive in a sick world with sickness, but the world can't thrive without us finding a way to heal each other. All success is socially motivated, but there is a limit to how satisfying monetary success alone can be. Our brain is a social supercomputer that will always find this arrangement lacking, particularly because it falls short of the potential of our communal, often self-sacrificial nature, which are evolutionary adaptations and the key for our collective, long-term survival. There is a reason we are drawn to participating in something bigger than our fickle, unreliable, temporary selves. Understanding our lack of potential individually as opposed to communaly is the key to the future. It's also what enlightenment is, it's nudging this inconvenient truth in our brain into our consciousness, as we are normally protected from realizing how artificial and limited our selves are.
