What We Do In The Shadows has a funny answer to this question.
It always felt unbelievable when an ancient vampire was super "with it". At best they'd be too shitty and un-self aware that their ego would remain basically intact over millennia, otherwise any immortal is facing an eternity of future shock, derealization, and complete dissociation.
The only way to really face eternity would to have such a disordered personality that the very idea of other people held no particular meaning.
Also, if the system you use to make decisions is insanely unbalanced (FPTP), and you ask it insane questions ("should Nige be within shouting distance of any position of power?") then the answers it gives aren't really worth taking seriously.
Ah good, the Lothario of our story, entering from stage right onto a tableau of hedonistic abandon, selecting a dainty from his larder with an unvarnished, genuine joie de vivre that can only stem from true self knowledge.

Joke's on you, you just took the first step on a journey of self-discovery that will lead to a far more meaningful, examined life. Every step of the way you are, in truth, who you say you are.
You will need to keep that hand iced. Maybe splint at night. If the skin breaks, get an ACE wrap.
Sorry, that sounds like a possibly risky amount of slapping you've been up to lately, especially if you've been (like most of us) in a low or no-slap lifestyle up until now.
Curious coincidence that conservatives took over in 2015, around the end of this operation - who then went on to hand Russia their second biggest win of that decade (the first being getting trump elected). dumb wrong shit
Russia's hybrid warfare campaign has been devastatingly successful, to such an extent that I'm sitting here connecting such disparate dots wondering if it all hangs together. I'm fucked if I know honestly.
Edit: massive brain fart, incredible failure of a comment. Emphasis added, that bit holds up anyway
Tysm for posting this, I made the mistake of assuming the UK wasn't part of SKG. Signed!
