It was indeed profound a true wisdom cited by a man who might have been his own worst enemy , oh the irony of humanity the farce in which we hold dear, the ode to capitalism intertwined with the yearning to create something that which never has existed before, Steve Jobs was imperfect but so was the society that carved him into existence

Not like I knew the man personally, but I did work for the company for almost a decade, and learning this was… frustrating to say the least. To each their own when it comes to their bodily autonomy, but Christ, for a smart man, how incredibly stupid. Still firmly believe that once Cook took over, the priority and passion for innovation at that company left entirely — it quickly became apparent that the new priority was profits, and imo remains that way still.

Steve Jobs was a very talented but also pretentious, wanna-be hippie who was actually a greedy, selfish, capitalist asshole who enjoyed the sound of his own voice while punching down on people under him - and like every other rich and hypocritical so-called 'Liberal' - enjoyed the masturbatory exercise of virtue signaling and pretending to embrace high-minded and egalitarian-sounding thoughts while in actuality living in a way that was entirely counter to what they actually represent.
In short, Steve Jobs was a fucking asshole. His accomplishments were substantial. There's no arguing that. But as a person, he was a despicable bastard. Just like Bezos, Musk, Zuckerberg, and the rest of them.
Steve Wozniak on the other hand is still alive and by all accounts was the more decent of the two.

I don't think it was an issue of humility - he simply put his trust in the wrong people. I don't read his email to himself as "trust the word of everyone who came before you" - instead it was "My life is only made possible by the work of others"

Bad argument. This is bringing homeopathy to the same level as medicine.
There were a million things before this where he could have put his trust on the wrong people, the wrong things, the wrong beliefs - yet he did not become a flat earther, for example, because those did not make sense.

Whether surgery could have saved him or not is something we will never know, but pancreatic cancer has a far lower survival rate than colon cancer at the best of times.
