    He apparently had, like, the only variety of pancreatic cancer that actually is treatable. Dude got about as “lucky” as it is possible for a cancer diagnosis to be and still pissed it all away on woo woo bullshit.

      In a weird way, I have to give it to him, he really did what he preached in thinking different.

        As I commented elsewhere, people say he smelled awful from not bathing but had a habit of washing just his feet in fucking toilets. Yeah he was thinking different.

        He was a huge asshole and even fucked over the real genius, his partner Steve Wozniak, early in their career for a relatively small amount of money. Woz didn’t find out until a book came out many years later where Jobs told the story it. And it made Woz cry. Fuck him.

          Yeah, all I’m saying is he wasn’t pretending. Not that he was admirable. That’s all.
