"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."

    Yeah. He set a precedent for decades of other cults of personality where some rich narcissist acts and is treated like a god, and the "innovations" were primarily marketing and monetization triumphs with vertical integration characteristics to push out competition. joker-amerikkklap

        it's not stupid if it works

        Clearly Steve Jobs' diet cure didn't work.

        Also contributing to long and exhaustive legacy of billionaire cults of personality sure "work" in a way that's to the detriment of everyone who has to live under a worsening state of privatization, private surveillance, and a planet being burned down and choked with e-waste because indoctrinated members of the aforementioned cults of personality simply must have a new phone every year that is slightly thinner.

            I think Steve Jobs' cult of personality "worked" in a stupid way to society and the planet's detriment that still has so many people expecting billionaire genius saviors to fix the problems that they are actually perpetuating.

              i believe it's that plus people who strive for "fuck 'em all money" never realizing that's what steinbeck meant by his temporarily embarrassed millionaires quote.
