Must admit Erik I always feel a bit queasy when they bring up Steve Jobs remarks on LSD. He was a 100% predator capitalist who couldn't give a flying fuck about anyone or anything but his profits. If that's how LSD is going to transform people then we havn't much hope have we.
I think we have to admit that LSD has it's limits - it can't turn an arsehole into a great person.
That's only part of his history in which Steve Jobs behaves that way. At some point he lost everything and was only caring about innovation. He grew up. And only few articles and interviews show that.
I used to think like you, but then I studied a lot about his life apart from the media.
Unfortunately, his life was edited immensely. His life was divided in many different parts.
The books and latest videos show a much more mature Jobs while Hollywood made a terrible movie about him. They fast forwarded 20 years of his life when he was dismissed from his own company.
On the contrary, Jobs gave a way most of his money he earned when he was 25 years old. At one point he could careless about money and basically didn't even care how much he spent to dress himself.
He was in most part a very simple person except when he was portrayed the opposite.
Very few people know what happened to him after he left Apple.
And it would be impartial from me to try to portray him differently. But he changed a lot.
When he was in LSD was actually when he could careless about money. That's before the money.
All I can say is that most people see Steve Jobs from his adversaries' point of view and, of course, the unfriendly and super partial movie about only one third of his life.
Anyway, back to LSD I believe most of my greatest & deepest insights came from moments I was using.
But with so much responsibility, I started to have more and more bad trips. I could not take LSD and be a parent or a present husband neither a productive worker. I could not handle both together.
