Here's a word for you, straight from the pseudo-intellectual jargon that we have come to expect from the halls of academia:

"Hyperindividualism"

Here's how the highly acclaimed Oxford defines it:

https://oxford-review.com/the-oxford-review-dei-diversity-equity-and-inclusion-dictionary/hyperindividualism-definition-and-explanation/

Definition:

Hyperindividualism refers to an extreme focus on personal autonomy, self-reliance, and independence, often at the expense of community, social responsibility, and collective well-being. It is characterised by the prioritisation of personal success and interests over group or societal needs.

---

Notice here that in this definition, there is no clear definition of what constitutes EXTREME, but what is clear is the message:

Autonomy is bad

Self reliance bad

Independence is bad

Personal success is bad

Community is good

Social responsibility is good

Collectivism is good

Do you think this is a useful word?
