Are narcissists, manipulators, and psychopaths evolutionary winners? This video explores the terrifying possibility that they are.

This is a deep dive into the work of evolutionary psychologist Dr. David Buss and his research on the "Dark Triad" personalities [01:08]. We challenge the comforting idea that empathy and cooperation are humanity's ultimate goal, and instead explore the chilling theory that these dark traits are not flaws, but highly successful evolutionary strategies.

Learn how narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy work in synergy to create the ultimate social predator [13:14]. We'll dissect their playbook, from the narcissist's lovebombing to the Machiavellian's strategic takedowns. Most importantly, you'll learn to identify your own vulnerabilities and receive a practical defense plan to avoid becoming prey.
