the dangers of ego inflation, the likes of which are now dominating the political landscape.

"An inflated consciousness is always egocentric and conscious of nothing but its own presence.

incapable of learning from the past, incapable of understanding contemporary events, and incapable of drawing right conclusions about the future. It is hypnotized by itself and therefore cannot be argued with.

It inevitably dooms itself to calamities that must strike it dead."

CG Jung
