Narcissism is a junk science idea that comes from people with low self-esteem who want to believe people with strong self-esteem are the defective ones. That's why there seems to be a so-called "epidemic of narcissism" going on. It's fake.

It’s ill defined in general public use. NPD is not what people think it is. They should rename it

True. Toddlers are narcissistic. It’s a normal part of human development

So, is it that you are disputing facts, or values? Do you think the cluster of traits labeled NPD in fact don't go together? Or are you saying there is nothing wrong with being this way? Sounds more like the latter.

Self preservation exists and is necessary, but selfishness is not best way to achieve it. We need healthy brain chemicals (D.O.S.E. et al) for survival far more than we need toxic Cortisol (common and overused). Dilbert could learn a few things about stress science, I think.

But a narcissist will throw their own child under the bus to avoid bad press. That isn't selfishness.

Unusually strong narcissistic traits (or personality disorder) usually breeds success. Like tortured artists, ppl admire their greatness (or envy it). Inside it’s torture. Unlike artists, the torture finds an unlucky mark externally (assistant, spouse, child ...).

No, actually it’s not necessary. Caring and liking yourself is necessary for survival, but caring only about yourself does not evolve us into low entropy.

Evil exists. It's also necessary for humanity. It's still evil.
