Ascendant Narcissism

The uncanny frequency with which narcissists percolate into positions of power is a function of the ways that the Rube Goldberg tesseract of ascendant organisational ecologies acquire an emergent orientation towards the self-selection of complementary, resonant character types. This is to say: there exists something of a distributed pathological bias for self-selecting personality traits that both validate and recursively amplify the unrepentantly adversarial orientations of the macrostate in (and as) the sociopsychological microstates that inhabit and maximally reproduce it. These dissonant personalities are in effect, and for better or for worse, the narcissists “we had to have”.
