The first landmark on the road to kookism appears to be the
ever-growing projection and mirror of narcissism.

There's no "i" in "man".

MacDictionary: narcissism | noun | excessive or *****c interest
in oneself and one's physical appearance.
€ Psychology: extreme selfishness, with a grandiose view of one's own
talents and a craving for admiration, as characterizing a personality
type.
See note at egotism.
€ Psychoanalysis: self-centeredness arising from failure to
distinguish the self from external objects, either in very young
babies or as a feature of mental disorder.
egotism: note:
THE RIGHT WORD conceit, egotism, narcissism, solipsism, vanity
Egotism is a negative term that combines extreme self-preoccupation
with a tendency to show off or attract attention.
There is nothing neutral about conceit, which carries strong
connotations of superiority and a failure to see oneself
realistically (: he was so rich and powerful that conceit came
easily).
Vanity, on the other hand, is not based so much on feelings of
superiority as it is on a love for oneself and a craving for the
admiration of others (: his vanity drove him to cosmetic surgery).
Narcissism and solipsism were once considered technical terms drawn
from psychology and philosophy, respectively, but nowadays they are
also in the general language.
Narcissism means self-love and preoccupation with one's physical or
mental attributes (: the beautiful young actress had a reputation for
narcissism), while solipsism refers to someone who is completely
wrapped up in his or her own concerns ( | the solipsism of the
theoretical mathematician).
