They have certainly pushed the world. Whether the direction we're going is 'forward' is extremely debatable. It certainly might look that way from certain positions, but not all points of view agree, and there's no clear way to determine which should be privileged.

Exactly most of the complaints I find are simply out of jealousy of their accomplishments and the need for power among people who want to put limits on their achievements. Can we revert back to its none of your business what they do?

It's one thing to disagree, another to call them sociopaths.

If what they're doing is debatable - let's debate then. With respect for each other and with civility.

The word you're looking for is not sociopath, it's 'psychopath'. https://link.springer.com/referenceworkentry/10.1007%2F978-3...

So it's civil to engage in anti-competitive behavior which arguably sets back the progress of humanity ("pushing the world forward"), but not civil to use the word 'sociopath' in reference to such actions? I was always taught that actions speak louder than words.

I mean sociopath has a real definition you can't just call everyone you don't like sociopaths.

That's fine, but you also can't just call someone uncivil for using a hyperbole you don't agree with.
