How depressing it must be to have lived through the collapse of the soviet union, realize the magnitude of lies, see the hope of a new Russia, and then have to go through this.

They'd love nothing more than for you to believe there is no proof or evidence for anything -- no truth for you to discern. Just struggles in the will to power.

True and healthy skepticism requires evidence and pointing skepticism at things that deserves skepticism. Questioning whether plants produce food by photosynthesis from the light of the sun because "science" has been wrong before

Fair enough, thanks for clarifying. I haven't run into too many of those people (brutally aggressive and terrific engineers). The toxic people I've run into spent all their time trying to look smart to cover their incompetence

If it were directed at a particular person, sure. Otherwise, the author is describing negative traits and behaviors . Have you ever taken any management training? This is the quintessential way of discussing these sorts of things neutra

Why do you believe the traits and behaviors outlined in the article are mutually exclusive with being a jerk? In my experience, most of the toxic people I've worked with were toxic because they exhibited a number of these traits and w

There's a lot of projection going on here, as far as I can tell. The author is about as neutral as possible in describing these traits / behaviors. None of these traits are mutually exclusive with being a jerk, and in my experie

I think this comment would be a better jumping off point for discussion if it were responding to a specific individual and showing curiosity rather than making multiple broad assumptions about the community at large.
