Psychotic Grandeur of Hubris, the Ninth Sin in Materiality In the third domain of Resurrexit Spiritus (RS), Eros, where relationships ripen in mutual trust, based upon stability through moderation’s strengths, or exploited in trade for illusions of power; the error of Hubris is a corrosive force against both sides: self or other.
