Narcissism “Conspiracy”: Historical Roots of Contemporary Narcissism Pandemic
Channel: Prof. Sam Vaknin
Date: 2024-01-23

In stark contrast to Medieval Man, the Renaissance Man was a narcissistic, albeit gifted and multi-talented amateur, in pursuit of worldly fame and rewards - a throwback to earlier times (Ancient Greece, Republican Rome). Thus, the Renaissance was both reactionary and modernist, looking forward by looking back, committed to a utopian "new human type" by regressing and harking back to the past's "ideal humanity".

In the 20th century, Romanticism, a 19th century malignant mutation of Renaissance humanism and its emphasis on the individual, provoked the counter-movements of Fascism, Communism, and Nazism.

ADDENDA

In the video Signs of SWITCHING in Narcissists and Borderlines
 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrISNGzMdp0 , I forget to mention HYPERACTIVITY. 

From the description: "Talkativity (hyper-verbalizing), hyperreflexivity (pseudo-psychosis) and HYPERACTIVITY followed by a period of subdued, slow motion, hesitant reactivity." 

Also, BPD and NPD are prone to switching owing to splitting and self-splitting defenses (previous self-state all bad while new self-state all bad).
