This piece realy made me think! Thank you for articulating the core issue of nihilistic narcissism in modern leadership so insightfully. It's incredibily important to see these dynamics clearly.
Thank you. I'd be interested to see what emerges in your thoughts as you see things that you may have missed before.
For me, the idea of a religious creed from 1600 years ago still has resonance, while hardly any value statements or marketing pitches have anything to say that lasts more than a moment, struck me deeply.
No wonder questions of identity never find a solid ground as a foundation.
You are right that if leaders of companies started a serious conversation about what values they wanted to live by, it would change a lot. But most of them won't do it as they are too locked into the nihilistic/narcissistic paradigm you describe. Like you, I see hope in people who are less locked in forming real connections rooted in care.

It is a very curious thing.
Why is it that people do not do what they know is in their best interest.
Thank you for your kind comment.
