He chose homeopathic remedies when first diagnosed with cancer rather than the known and proven effective treatments.
By the time he realized it wasn't a joke the effective treatments were too late.
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.
With his final days he designed and built a super-expensive yacht...
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.

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.
- iaw 10y ago> 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).
- M_Grey 10y agoYou know that he was neither stupid, nor naive... so... what's your next best guess on that one?
- lintiness 10y agogood lord, just because the man did some selfish things does NOT mean he didn't care "about the well-being of others".
