• Anarcho-individualism — A school of thought within anarchism that emphasizes the absolute sovereignty of the individual, personal freedom, and the rejection of any form of forced collectivism, state authority, or institutional control. Unlike social-anarchist currents, this structural doctrine holds that the individual will and consciousness must not be subordinated to any group or majority decision, promoting private ownership of one's own resources and exclusively voluntary associations based on mutual interest.
• Après moi le déluge — A famous historical aphorism attributed to King Louis XV of France (or his favorite, Madame de Pompadour), literally translated as 'After me, the deluge'. In a conceptual and structural sense, the expression defines an attitude of extreme selfishness, civic irresponsibility, or total indifference of a leader toward the disastrous consequences that their current decisions will have on the future of society or their successors after their departure.
• Self-admiration — The act of admiring oneself or its result; excessive and often unjustified admiration for one's own person, appearance, intelligence, or achievements. In clinical psychology, it is considered a core component of narcissistic behavior and ego-centered personality disorders.
• Self-admired — Having admired oneself or being self-admired excessively; a person characterized by an exaggerated satisfaction with their own achievements, qualities, or physical appearance, often manifesting traits of vanity or egocentrism.
• Self-admiration — A feeling of deep, often exaggerated and uncritical admiration that a person harbors toward themselves, their own qualities, actions, or physical appearance; a state of eccentric self-satisfaction structurally approaching the manifestations of narcissism.
• To praise oneself — To bring exaggerated praise upon oneself, to flatter or glorify oneself publicly or privately; to undergo a discursive process of narcissistic self-commendation, often with the aim of imposing authority or masking structural flaws in character.
• Self-enchantment — A state of exaggerated, often unfounded admiration for one's own qualities, achievements, or actions; self-delusion fueled by vanity or narcissism. In a psychological sense, it represents a self-defense or compensatory mechanism through which an individual distorts their perception of subjective reality, isolating themselves in a sterile self-admiration that hinders authentic spiritual or intellectual progress.
