Most people are profoundly narcissistic.

You can tell because they blame everyone but themselves for anything that happens. They believe that they'd be fine if the world, really specific people, would get their act together. These people are usually fans of books like Catcher in the Rye. They like that book because it tells them what they want to hear. Specifically, that they, too, are geniuses and that it's the world that misidentifies them.

I really hate that book because it tells people that they're really hidden geniuses and that it's society's fault for not recognizing them. No, it's not society that's at fault. It's you. And it's profoundly immature to blame everyone else but yourself. That's what children do, not adults.

Yet if we look at the population, the people that act this way make up a significant percentage. Why is that?

It's because they've never had to grow up. This attitude is characteristic of someone that's never had to deal with adversity. And indeed, we get a lot of people like that under fiat money. Anyone with financial privilege has this potential to be this narcissistic. Honestly, if you constantly got bailed out by your parents or government, you'd never even think of improving.

Fiat money has made things way too comfortable, especially for the class of rent-seekers that don't contribute anything. We'll see a lot more of this as inflation takes its toll.
