the jerk culpably fails to appreciate the perspectives of others around him, treating them as tools to be manipulated or idiots to be dealt with rather than as moral and epistemic peers.

Isn't that just a run-of-the-mill narcissist?

Like, I get that he addresses that (narcissism), but I might just be very bad at reading philosophy?
