In his total disregard of the humanity of others, Jobs directly challenges the ethics of innovation and science. For example, commits flagrant plagiarism of an employee's ideas. Jobs directly claims another's intellectual property as his own while at Apple, as Jonathan Ive recounts: “He'll look at my ideas and say, 'That's no good.' It's not going very well. I like that. ' And later I'll be sitting in the audience and he'll talk about it like it's his idea. as his. Yet, Jobs continues to be successful – he operates in the private marketing sector, not in a purely scientific or academic office – a success that is rather counterintuitive due to the nature of its mechanisms. The study of the scientific past usually shows a tendency towards progress achieved through collaboration, and failure to adhere to this tendency can be extremely harmful to a field. For example, the case of the dispute between Hermann von Hemholtz and Ewald Hering, discussed in Oliver Sacks' essay, “Scotoma: Forgetting and Neglect in Science,” has proven highly restrictive for the evolution of scientific thought.
