The Decline of Truth :: Sigmund, Carl, and Alfred
If there is a defining characteristic of the transition from the Era of Narcissism to the Age of Psychopathy, it is in how we as a society have come to define and interpret truth.
In the Age of Psychopathy, it isn’t only what is and isn’t objective truth that comes into question. Even our sense of what is or isn’t truth has become subject to debate. Typical narcissism with its sometimes over-the-top grandiose individualism has been supplanted by a malignant sociopathy that manipulates and exploits in the name of some ideal or “greater good.”
Reality, facts and truths are deliberately and regularly ignored or obfuscated simply because they get in the way of an agenda.
Whether it is to secure power, anchor political ideologies or to establish a position in a given hierarchy, truth is undermined and tsunamis of destructive events are unleashed, all in the name of supposedly ‘selfless’ interest.
