> I'm not sure he was introspective enough to be a member of the cult of his own ego
I'm not sure that I agree. I think he was very introspective but, because of being put for adoption and other traumatic experiences in his childhood, he focused on things that are atypical (hence the accusations of sociopathy).
You know that he was neither stupid, nor naive... so... what's your next best guess on that one?
Smart people can do stupid things.
I feel like that's Silicon Valley's motto at times.
That strikes me as stupid / naïve more than sociopathic.
> He used his wealth and influence to get on organ transplant lists in numerous states. At the time doctors were publicly confused because the organ could no longer save his life, only extend it. This action likely cost another person their life.
That's selfish, true, but I could see myself doing something similar when faced with the fear of death. It's human. Not admirable, but human.
> Steve Jobs may not have been sociopathic but he wasn't someone that cared about the well-being of others. He was the first member in the cult of his own ego.
I'm not sure he was introspective enough to be a member of the cult of his own ego, but yeah, he wasn't a nice man. No argument there.
