You cannot explain why Trump attacked Iran without reference to the interaction of his NPD and ND. That’s the core point.
One of my commitments is to separately and together speak positively about ND. So many of the people I love and admire most are ND.

Stigma is the third argument you are absolutely right. I was too rushed when I replied and I built it into the privacy argument and the nobody can ever know argument. They all overlap. I am champion of ND, but the stigma argument is so weak. In fact, it is more stigmatising to censor ourselves on ND

Your only arguments are the right to privacy, which is easily overruled in the case of global leaders. Or that “you can’t ever know”, which is utterly ludicrous. This is not a close call.

Yep. You need to take discussions of ND in public figures seriously, esp. when they are not self aware about their ND and their mishandling of their ND probabilifies major global change. This is not a debate. It’s about whether you wake up or deny the obvious need for this to be open to discussion.

The key issue here is not ND but NPD and then the way NPD can be put on steroids by ND.
Important to find a way to balance this with the truth that some of the most ethical and brilliants humans who ever lived were ND.

Would be unethical and gravely irresponsible for me to take on board your criticism - it means flying blind rather than understanding key actors in the world.

Time to stop the Trump sane-washing. Iran is a strategically meaningless war. This is Trump- driven by a narcissistic personality disorder, amplified by neuro-diverse traits that heighten impulsivity & fixation on a single idea- chasing a “war president” adrenaline rush without a coherent objective.

Serious analysts and journalists need to be unafraid to snap out of Trump sane washing. Global events right now are a product of things that happen in Trump's head - and nobody controls what happens in Trump's head, including Trump.

Don't recommend this approach. BoJo is a post-truth populist with a monarchist disposition. His prominence in our politics favours Putin.

It’s 2026. There is still no serious response to authoritarian populism - one that both grasps its appeal & knows how to defeat it. The solution technocratic centrism offers is, astonishingly, an even more precautionary version of technocratic centrism, which only accelerates authoritarian populism.

Reminder: it is an element of fascisation to invoke emergency powers lefts right and centre. This is connected with a psychology of moral justification, to do with before and after. The promised “after” creates a moral quarantine around bad things you do in the “before.”
