Lack of self awareness is widespread, I agree, but where that’s genuine you only see clumsiness and awkwardness instead of all out villainy as I define it and mean for it to be understood in my OP. I mean someone knowing there is wrong in what they do, and then doing it anyways.

Yea. I don’t see much of that….

And when I do, it seems to me to come from self-loathing….

Just my sense….

Self loathing may be the effect rather than the cause. But there may be a feedback loop involved here.

I think it begins with self-loathing. Nihilism. Often subconscious. But sometimes not. Then the ego cleverly uses that to justify all sorts of harmful, sociopathic behaviour towards others….

Once again. Just my sense.

Broadly, I attribute it to the genetics of scarcity. Which I sense we are mutating beyond as we speak. Possibly even in the next few generations. 🧬 🦋

The Gene Keys by Richard Rudd helped frame for me what I was already sensing intuitively.
