I've been considering this and although I'm not one to pirate anything (my skills for this stayed in 1999) I've been buying CDs out of thrift stores and ripping them :)

I can see you're getting some push back, so I just want to propose a half-baked idea that maybe could help you in your endeavor: what if instead of focusing on narcissism in politics the community would be open to discussing different psychological aspects that clash or monopolize with current/historical systems?

Example1: autism and the general perceived inability to participate in society. I completely empathize with a mode of thinking in absolutes, which in turn leads to difficulties in navigating a system where sometimes people follow the law to the ts, sometimes bend and massage the truth out of things. (Extremely broad interpretation)

Example2: on conversations about ADHD people bring up how that might have been a feature in past societies, but no one really discuss how people with ADHD can adapt and use their advantages in today's world, or how could we shape today's world to make it inclusive to all neural divergences.

Granted, I'm no academic in the psychology field and I could be talking s*** for all I know, so I apologize in advance for that. I just feel like we miss on societal advances by not acknowledging all these new things we learned about human psychology in the aspect of our political systems.
