I’m quite aware of that but in the book, M. Scott Peck makes the correlation between NPD and evil. That was my point.

It’s been a while since I last read "People of the Lie" (though I’ve revisited it multiple times), but I recall that, while Peck addressed behaviors overlapping with narcissistic traits, he ultimately presented a concept of 'evil' that extends far beyond any single psychological diagnosis.

I thought Peck’s exploration was broader, framing 'evil' as a complex, moral failing rather than a clinical condition.

Given what we're seeing with the Democrats, it might be time for me to dig the book up and give it another read.;-)
