Ultra rich people don't need religion. Religion is for the people in need.
The rich are no different to the poor. They can't take their wealth with them.
Man cannot live by bread alone.

#112After reading this a couple of times I think this part stands out: > When I needed medical attention, I was helpless to help myself survive. A very strong and independent character came to realize we all need each other to survive. A good reminder to stay humble.

Yeah, but you still made the trillion pounds of e-waste from everything you did do, and profitted off of jony's shitty fucking life-cycle understanding of anything plastic... Fuck Jobs worship. He DID CREATE a ton of shit that the world doesnt need in the environment and by claiming that appl is some beacon of the most amazing design - nope. If appl was the bastion for thought on product design, I wouldnt have ~20 br…
When some weird hate blinds your rationality and you start talking about missing lanyards on an iPhone. lol
Is that satire?

Or perhaps he left in his own terms. Which is a happier ending than grueling chemotherapy

> I love and admire my species, living and dead, and am totally dependent on them for my life and well being.
This almost sounds like a Buddhist vow.

#117There's something deeply comical about this existential message ending with: > Sent from my iPad
I think it will be comical if he deleted it. But this being there shows that maybe it wasn’t just as an ad?

Hitler, mao and stalin can all go jump as far as I'm concerned. I'm sure they weren't pure evil either but sometimes people deserve the label.
In what universe is Steve Jobs in the same category as dictators who killed tens of millions of people?
something something modern slavery

#119"Sent from my iPad" fucking poetic lol
i've always wondered why "Sent from my xxxxx" lines are tacked on. are those intended to blame poorly composed messages and typos on bad typing experience provided by mobile devices?

The American healthcare system, and capitalism in general, tells us that richer people have more right to healthcare than poorer people. Even when supply is fixed (say land), we distribute it based on the ability and willingness of someone to pay, not on need. Why should organ transplants be any different?
> Why should organ transplants be any different? the organ collection does not follow any capitalist principle. You can't sell your own organs even if you wanted to. So thats a pretty bad point to make.
> Jobs couldn't pay for an organ. Nor could he pay to cut the queue. But what someone with Jobs' resources could do, according to liver transplant surgeons and ethicists, is to use money and mobility to improve the odds either by going to an area of the country where there are more organ donors, or by signing up at multiple transplant centers.
> "It's not for anybody but the rich. It's called multiple-listing, a practice some would say is unethical," said Arthur Caplan, co-chair of the United Nations Task Force on organ trafficking and chair of the department of medical ethics at University of Pennsylvania.
