I’d make a strong argument that the vast majority of the world’s ills are a result of narcissists being in charge of most of the organizations worldwide You seem to have in mind some poor beaten down person struggling to survive Instead these are the people I’m talking about: https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/09/13/tim-gurner-unemployment/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/09/13/tim-gurner-u...

Clearly there are people who cause harm. That is not what I'm reacting to. I'm pushing against the ideas that: 1. This is somehow "self-directed" (which again makes no sense in the context of acknowledging childhood trauma) 2. Every manifestation of this trait leads to great harm (leaving no room for a spectrum or treatment/management) 3. We should "identify and isolate" people with this trait What does 3 even entail in your mind? How would this play out practically speaking?
