“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 rip-bozo

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

      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.

      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
