Steve Jobs Experienced Extreme Regret In The Final Days Before His Death, Saying, 'I Wanted My Kids To Know Me. I Wasn't Always Here For Them, And I Wanted Them To Know Why And To Understand What I Did'

"I wanted my kids to know me," Jobs told Isaacson. "I wasn't always there for them, and I wanted them to know why and to understand what I did."

Bro chose his legacy over his kids and spent his last days cloying for validation of that decision

Acting like he's some fuckin' migrant worker forced to leave his family to get them what they need to survive smh

I thought he was going to regret trying to cure cancer with fruit juice.
- I think it is humanizing that he regretted being a total dickwad to the people he knew personally instead of bemoaning his absurd faith in homeopathy. Of course the only people who are able to judge that are his estranged children whom he ignored and disowned.
  But I don't wanna miss out on the action, so I judge him unfavorably for being a capitalist, which dehumanizes the laboring classes, and I judge him unfavorably for being an asshole directly to people he didn't even personally know. Steve Jobs was not a good person and is undeserving of the hero worship he receives.
  
  Per his quote, he wasn't apologizing or wishing he'd done anything differently - he wanted his children to validate his decisions
- Also spending a shit-ton of money to put himself higher on the organ transplant list only to find out you don't cure cancer with organ transplants either
No shit, he tried to treat cancer with fruit juice when he could have easily gotten the best treatments in history. Real bonehead move.
- He also bought an extra house in a different state to jump the organ donation line and then took the donor organ down with him because of the stupid juice thing.
  
  I didn't know that, that's insane!
- Wait what? I must delve deeper
  
  Steve Jobs had pancreatic cancer, which is among the deadliest cancers you can possibly get. However, it was caught exceptionally early and was an incredibly rare treatable pancreatic cancer. He had fantastic odds for any cancer diagnosis.
  So he decided to not treat it medically and go on fruit juice purges instead, which is the exact diet that aggravates pancreatic cancer.
GOOD
I am sinning specifically so I can go to hell and beat the crap out of Jobs for what he did to smart phones and portable computing.
- That's not the reason why I'm sinning but I look forward to seeing that
- bro left an indelible mark in his boxers when he crapped his ass to death
- Yeah, his legacy is tech companies fucking over consumers and scams like Theranos
- it's not stupid if it works
Once took an entrepreneurship course in college (dropped it after a couple of weeks) and the gist of it was thinking of “ideas”
Is a CEO just a guy who came up with a good idea and had the resources to get other people involved ~~and~~ to take all the credit
- CEOs are just idea guys, and as any game developer knows, idea guys are worthless.
- Pretty much, being able to "talk well" and having connections are the two main requirements for being in that job area and is why so many CEOs try to mystify the whole process when it's really just being a wealthier conman.
- A CEO is an 'ideas guy' (who are dime a dozen and generally worthless) who has the pedigree and connections to make enough attempts to survive the entrepreneurial lottery and then assign that survivorship to their 'genius' when it could be (and generally is) any number of outside factors.
- You don't even need to be that; you can buy a company started by people who had good ideas, declare yourself the founder and forbid the actual founders from referring to themselves as such.
One of the richest men on Earth and you went out doing citrus enemas because you thought you'd innovated a way around chemo.
Total asshole piece of shit who treated both his employees and friends like garbage. Routinely fucked over his own business partners. Good. I'm glad he suffered along every dimension of his existence before death.
- he also treated his family like garbage
notable ligma victim, Steve Jobs
Impending doom just works like magic^TM
Designed in California
the smartphone was a bad invention and so was the computer fuck steve jobs
- He invented neither, but fuck 'im for different reasons
good
The lib praise he received after his death was everywhere and oh so exhausting
- The man singlehandedly invented the portable telephone!
Good.
Capitalist loser
good
Still dead. I couldn't be happier
Once had one of those saccharine HR types in the unemployment office go on about Steve Jobs to motivate me. Lady, I do not count this smelly, abusive, Silicone Valley cult leader as a role model. He was so full of himself that he thought he never had to shower and tried to cure his cancer with fruit juice. Who wants that as a role model.
Maybe his cult was what the mania around Mother Theresa was like for aging white ethnic Catholics in the 90s. But for HR types. All a facade of a great person because of a good press team but all rot behind the guilded icon.
