What Jobs says is true,

but I think the way he communicates it reveals something deeper, and uglier, in his character, and those of people like him.

There is an arrogance there, a narcissism, a contempt for those who are not like him that I find troubling. There is no denying he was a talented man, one who changed our world, all by himself. But you can say the same about Hitler.

There are geniuses in art, and science, like Steve Jobs. But for some reason I don't find them as threatening as I do those who go into business or politics.

I can't fully articulate why, perhaps it is just a personal prejudice of mine, but I am troubled and repelled by men like him, and by those who are attracted to men like him.
