No, it makes no difference. The disability is in him. Their power or any other of their features cannot change it.

I thought "narcissist" was legitimately confused with "sociopath" in this thread for a second.

After looking over the definitions again for the distinctions, my immediate thought was "why not both?"

I don't know, really: is "sociopath" also a condition or just a bad habit?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

It’s also in the DSM, but there’s probably ranges of both and I don’t think either one precludes or excludes the other. Narcissism also shares a lot of symptoms with bipolar disorder, which the recent interviews with the biographer Walter Isaacson about Musk seems pretty clearly to be a problem. (See ‘demon mode’)
