Episode 67: The Rise of Narcissism

Modern culture increasingly rewards attention, validation, and self-promotion. Social media, online debates, and even everyday conversations often revolve around one central idea: me. In this episode of Zero Distortion, Russ Bates explores the Law of Narcissism and why the need for recognition and validation is becoming more dominant in modern society. Why do people constantly seek attention online? Why does criticism trigger such strong reactions? And why do so many discussions today seem less about truth and more about ego? Understanding narcissism isn’t just about recognizing it in others — it’s also about recognizing it in ourselves. Once you see the pattern, you start noticing it everywhere.
