Narcissism as a Driving Force: The Case of Luigi Mangione and the Psychopathology of Digital Radicalization

This 37-page comprehensive analysis explores the intersection of high intelligence, digital echo chambers, and the neurological development of the prefrontal cortex. Using the case of Luigi Mangione (2024/25) and historical parallels such as Leopold and Loeb, the work examines how "cognitive deprivation" in isolation affects gifted individuals. It further details the mechanisms of "stochastic radicalization" and the role of anonymity as a catalyst for violence. This documentation serves the mission of unmasking narcissistic structures and systemic failures in institutional contexts.

Abstract

This 37-page comprehensive analysis explores the intersection of high intelligence, digital echo chambers, and the neurological development of the prefrontal cortex. Using the case of Luigi Mangione (2024/25) and historical parallels such as Leopold and Loeb, the work examines how "cognitive deprivation" in isolation affects gifted individuals. It further details the mechanisms of "stochastic radicalization" and the role of anonymity as a catalyst for violence. This documentation serves the mission of unmasking narcissistic structures and systemic failures in institutional contexts.
