Where did you get these from? Especially the second one.
- tunap 10y agoNot the op, but probably because it is a confidence game, and con persons are more likely to have such traits. ttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confidence_trick
- blablabla123 10y agoActually the second one is connected to the former. I'm too lazy to cite a reference but there is evidence that psychopaths feel relaxed when others are not. (There are a few popular documentaries about that one Youtube) Of course 'psychopath' is a spectrum, so this doesn't mean Uber management consists of complete psychopaths. Actually there are clinical psychopaths that end up being altruistic - obviously not in this case though.
- wingerlang 10y ago> Actually the second one is connected to the former. Sure, but I am asking where it even came from to begin with. Like sadism, what bullet point does it apply to on the top comment? > .. but there is evidence that psychopaths feel relaxed when others are not. Also, sure it might be true but why do you even bring this point into the discussion? Does the article or comment mention anything about "calmness" (or similar)? I didn't find it but I might be missing.
- blablabla123 10y agoI guess when looking at the articles about Uber from this years that made it onto the front page here, we are seeing a pattern of unethical behaviour. Even Uber admitted that something like this exists by letting go one Executive and planning to transform the company into a more benevolent direction. Why do people repeatedly do things that are bad for others and generally considered unethical, likely even being aware of that? In my opinion this needs no further explanation.
