Egoless hubris. Quite the concept!

Indeed.


The different facets of narcissism
Researchers often distinguish between different types of narcissism (see Figure 1). Most often studied (including in the paper by Cichocka et al. [5]) is grandiose narcissism, regulated by two strategies [17]. First, grandiose narcissists strive to achieve admiration by boosting their egos through a sense of uniqueness, charm, and grandiose fantasizing. This strategy of assertive self-enhancement can also be referred to as agentic extraversion [6,18]. Second, narcissists use rivalry to manage any threats to the self via devaluing others, aggression, and striving for supremacy. This antagonistic self-protection is also known as narcissistic antagonism [6]. Antagonism also feeds into the so-called vulnerable type of narcissism, which—instead of agentic extraversion—is regulated by narcissistic neuroticism, related to negative emotionality and self-consciousness [6,18].1

As you probably know I attribute these to be opposite sides of the same coin, self hate. In one case the process involves aggrandizement of a self that is self despised as a coping mechanism and in the other the coping mechanism is to lower everybody else's self esteem on your own eyes. Free of that the joy of being expresses itself in empathy and the notion that virtue is its own reward. To be loving is a good feeling.

A new, particularly baffling, use of the term "wokeness" (leaving aside that this seems to be a guy complaining about being asked to retire at 65, which was, until fairly recently, the official state pension age).

He described a “very early woke” moment at the BBC in 1997 when he was co-commenting at Bradford City after the death of Princess Diana. “The editor of the programme said, ‘Any free-kicks around the penalty area tonight, please don’t mention the wall,” Lawrenson added.

No idea what the heck that's about, or what it has to do with "wokeness". Sounds more like the typical BBC extreme deference over anything to do with the Royal family. Though even then, I don't see how mentioning the "wall" of defenders in a football penalty situation has anything whatsoever to do with Diana's death in a car crash in a tunnel. Quite baffling in multiple respects.

I think the car crashed into the tunnel wall. Just my guess.

I would guess also that being woke is not using language that might cause others to experience emotional stress like listening to a Nazi speak at a university of emotionally fragile left wing students for fear that fascism spreads like a STD.
