Particularly, pandemic narcissism, see: http://thelastpsychiatrist.com/2006/12/if_this_is_one_of_the_sexiest.html - one of many essays on the subject, sort-of, by this blogger. Perhaps addressed to a different sort of audience than you or I.
I'll tell you my perspective on it some time. Next letter maybe. Hoping I haven't just made an invalid association between the stuff you're thinking about and the stuff I like to read about.
