In his final months Steve Jobs was writing and talking about what really mattered in life, values, family, people etc, no mention of signal, noise, money and get rich quick. Life is a harsh teacher. Some listen late. Everyone's coffin will hold the same amount. Not much. Use time
Why he died alone in a hospital bed. No one gave a fuck about him, which provided him with the clarity to see his life as a colossal failure. He realized he sacrificed everything and everyone important to feed his ego. Plenty of time for reflection
Steve Jobs brought us the garden of Eden, every person on earth holds it in their hand now, and has a choice in front of them every day, to choose to follow God or to choose more information. The Apple with the bite taken out of it.. telling us we can be our own gods!
In a world suffused by the spectacle of advertising....The distraction and manipulation of the masses with a small device we hold in our hands can empower us( be smart with the smartphone) or harm us. ( have no real control over the noise)
And he did shut up, like a good boy, a fucking charlatan nobody.
Jobs singlehandedly shaped the future and is still continuing to do so even after his death. Millions upon millions are still using his creation and laid the groundwork for thousands of companies to build on.
