>In the United States, narcissism has been increasing since the 1970's, while traditional was of supporting narcissism such as prestigious jobs and credit (e.g.. the debt bubble collapse) are becoming less viable for the majority of Americans. The result for individuals is discomfort o cognitive dissonance 20 with the incongruence between inflated sense of self and deflated reality. One solution for resolving this dissonance is to migrate into a fantasy world via role playing games, fandoms, and fantasy media
Why are prestigious jobs becoming less viable for the majority of Americans? Who was responsible for the the debt bubble collapse?

Has science figured out why that is yet? Its only been 50 years, they should've come up with something by now.
Coincidentally, science fiction became a major entertainment genre a little bit over 50 or so years ago

Today there is no community or family anymore to keep peoples behaviour in check. If you acted too out of the norm in the past you would have been shunned for it now a days it is encouraged. Why was the west so successful under christianity? Because it was a unified moral codex that encouraged compassion and morality and restricted degnerate behaviour. Now a days people do not hold any believes anymore so there is no reason to act moral or upstanding.

Ernest Jones, in 1913, was the first to construe extreme narcissism, which he called the "God-complex", as a character flaw. He described people with God-complex as being aloof, self-important, overconfident, auto-erotic, inaccessible, self-admiring, and exhibitionistic, with fantasies of omnipotence and omniscience. He observed that these people had a high need for uniqueness.

if you constantly talk about
>muh narcissism
welcome to the bottom of the plebbit barrel. everyone circlejerks over narcissism due to their natural grandiosity and lack of self-insight that "healthy narcissism" in psychology brings. it is such a retarded, unproductive discussion because there is absolutely no self-awareness between parties in any discussion of narcissism. it's such a scare-word in the american cultural mindset that mere mention of it will turn off anyones brain. no one is going to go "hey, you know, we're talking about narcissism and i think i'm getting the picture that i might be a narcissist". it's basically like talking about pedophiles in any meaningful way. probably someone will come out of it feeling or looking like a pedophile. it's just a totally meaningless term in US pop psychology that has now infected the brains of even less retarded nations.
>affluent individualist nations high in narcissistic traits also obsessed with narcissism and simultaneously convinced that they could never possibly be narcissistic in any way (impossible for a human with any capability of self-absorption, A.K.A. anyone)
btw, narcissism =/= NPD. NPD is when you have a clinically significant disorder from an egosyntonic grandiosity and grandiose vulnerability. even most "narcissistic" egotistical assholes you will meet in your life do not have the type of pervasively destructive interpersonal relationship style that someone with NPD has.
arguably our biggest challenge in comprehending human psychology is our chimp brains chimping out, focusing on one word and recursively getting more retarded and up our own ass until we appear out the other side, a highly repressed, moralistic, finger pointing. which we are thanks to you retards corrupting every single psych concept into this bullshit.

The great fantasy migration hypothesis:

This supposes that the real world of unemployment and debt is too disappointing for a generation of entitled narcissists. They consequently migrate to a land of make-believe where they can live out their grandiose fantasies.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4651513/
>A Psychological Exploration of Engagement in Geek Culture
>authored by three women
Abstract:
>Geek culture is a subculture of enthusiasts that is traditionally associated with obscure media (Japanese animation, science fiction, video games, etc.). However, geek culture is becoming increasingly mainstream; for example, in the past year alone, Dragon*Con, a major Geek convention in Atlanta, Georgia, attracted an attendance of over 57,000 members. The present article uses an individual differences approach to examine three theoretical accounts of geek culture. Seven studies (N = 2354) develop the Geek Culture Engagement Scale (GCES) to quantify geek engagement and assess its relationships to theoretically relevant personality and individual differences variables. These studies present evidence that individuals may engage in geek culture in order to maintain narcissistic self-views (the great fantasy migration hypothesis), to fulfill belongingness needs (the belongingness hypothesis), and to satisfy needs for creative expression (the need for engagement hypothesis). Geek engagement is found to be associated with elevated grandiose narcissism, extraversion, openness to experience, depression, and subjective well-being across multiple samples. These data lay the groundwork for further exploration of geek culture as well as provide a foundation for examining other forms of subculture participation.

There are a lot of ppl on /sci/ who seem to fit this pattern, does that prove the validity of "The great fantasy migration hypothesis"?
