Startup culture is a study in psychopathy.
- lack of empathy: Uber, Instacart, etc. etc. etc., exploiting the poor
- parasitic behavior: aggressive tax optimisation/tax evasion, Amazon employees relying on food stamps for subsistance
- superficial charm: get rich quick
- pathological lying: cf. Facebook denying they ever did anything wrong
- manipulativeness: "make the world more open and connected"
and my personal favorite,
- grandiosity: "change the world!", "solve physics for good!", "be immortal!"
