  > This type of unsubstantive, inflammatory comment ... My comment doesn't have these properties, in fact it's the conventional view, as shown here: https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/theory-knowledge/201201/was-steve-jobs-narcissism-justified https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/theory-knowledge/201201... There's no way to have a meaningful conversation about Kalanick -- or Steve Jobs -- without addressing these issues. Would you prefer that topics having a psychological dimension be categorically excluded from HN? Nothing would make me happier, but that's neither realistic nor likely. I appreciate your helpful link to the HN posting guidelines. They include this rule: "Please don't submit comments complaining that a submission is inappropriate for the site."

    There is nothing conventional about psychology. You might as well have posted a link to a scientology article.

      > You might as well have posted a link to a scientology article. Yes, true. Psychologists will disagree with you, but yes. Also, psychologists don't own narcissism -- it predates their field by thousands of years. They're free to discuss it, as we all are, but they don't have a special standing.
