The laser jets are actually fine for small office use. It’s the ink jets that you have to avoid.

That’s what makes it obvious that this person has been around the block. Or a few blocks.

No love for vim?

It’s a big circle jerk. One day we suddenly hate Netflix. The next day Apple has always been terrible. Nobody cares about the complaints that are doing actual harm.

It does still happen but the problem is much better

The smart ones work in research and teaching.

All this article is showing is that a large number of CEOs are swayed by hype and make poor decisions. What other poor decisions are they making all the time? I am thoroughly convinced that the MBA is the most useless degree ever because when you look at how large businesses run so poorly, and are run by MBAs.

No. You feel bad which means you are capable of empathy.

I’m happy to hear that you looked up some of this for yourself. I figured that it was the definitions that were catching you more than the concepts. The DSM has some very odd references in it. For instance, “retarded” is a technical definition that exists and is a possible diagnosis even though society has long moved passed that concept. Mental health is weird.

Neurodivergent includes all those categories except the disorders or illnesses. Here’s why: Things like psychopathy are caused by structural differences in the brain that make sufferers incapable of experiencing the same set of emotions as most people. Many negative behaviors are caused by lack of inhibition or empathy for others. People with autism and adhd process information differently and respond to the world differently as a result. In severe cases this can lead to an inability to engage but will generally result more in inappropriate engagement. Behavioral health conditions are a mix of psychological and neurological issues that require a wide variety of interventions. These are very different things.

I think that what you are noting is that narcissism can be caused by differences in brain structure, like in psychopathy, or by differences in upbringing, like in sociopathy.

They are different things. Neurodivergent people process information differently but have all the correct parts to process. They may interact with the world in slightly different ways but do not have a personality DEFECT. People who are narcissists are missing a primary component: empathy for other humans. Their minds are fundamentally different than neurotypical and neurodivergent people.

Those are personality disorders, not forms of neurodivergence.

What doesn’t add up to me is why he used a gift card instead of using credit. I suspect that there is more going on here.
