I agree. Everybody is narcissistic and psychopathic to some extent. |
Machiavelli is very wise. I feel the negative aura surrounding his name is largely due to people's unwillingness to accept his astute observation of human nature because it would implicate them. Same with Hobbes. Probably, my favorite philosophers are Hobbes, Machiavelli and Camus. One day, I'll get into Schopenhauer.
