This is only a short answer space. I think there is an argument to be made for Chris to have an emotionally selfish side. His abandonment of family and friends can be examples of this. The rest of your statement is a little exaggerated. Chris was a unique individual that people were drawn to. He was a free-spirit in this world of mass consumerism and external validation through money and possessions. I think calling him arrogant and stupid is harsh and incorrect.
