The Deception of Constant Productivity and Narcissistic Behavior in a Capitalistic World

Society falsely glorifies a constant state of productivity and achievement, leading individuals to view everything and everyone around them as resources for personal advancement, resulting in a narcissistic project. This mindset creates a disconnect from others, where their opinions are disregarded, fostering further narcissism. In the life of a postmodern neoliberal subject, this self-absorption is a common trajectory, fueled by a belief that identity is fluid and must be constantly recreated. This attitude aligns well with global capitalism, where consumerism defines and reshapes one's identity, influenced by market fluctuations that also dictate business values and personal worth.
