Yeah, I don’t care specifically that he didn’t want to meet his bio dad. But when you couple that choice with ignoring his first child, then that starts to paint a picture of a cold man.
He just always struck me has a hippy who made good but never ditched the 20 year old self-centered attitude. It’s annoying to see him held up as some sort of hero. He did well. He invented cool stuff. He bought a new liver which most people with PC will never be able to do. He probably lived 8x longer than most people with that diagnosis. I am sorry he suffered. I’m sorry when cancer takes anyone. It’s all very sad. But a hero, he’s not.
15 minutes ago I read an article that said Steve surviving 7 years after his cancer diagnosis was the average.
Most PC patients die within the year according to the article. But those few who have the rare type, as Steve did, last about the same amount of time as he did. They acknowledged that his liver transplant was unusual, but it did not make a difference in his survival.
God bless Steve Jobs.
