Nice, but insincere in that it doesn't recognize that Steve Jobs was an abusive jerk who wouldn't recognize his own daughter. Maybe a very necessary jerk who benefited humanity tremendously by pushing people into doing wonderful things that otherwise would not have been done any time soon. And maybe he became a better human being later on in his life. Still, fiction is not the best tribute to someone about whom many…

To me or more reads like someone trying to deal with his god-complex or something.

That doesn't make it "insincere." It just means that the creators of this archive have different priorities than you.

I doubt that the people who hate Steve Jobs are willing to make something called "The Steve Jobs Archive", anyway.

Men have to be able to choose whether they want children.

That's pretty easy to do with 99%+ success rate.

Condoms effectivement is 98%: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/contraception/male-condoms/

If you have sex twice a week (which for a young couple is very conservative), after a year, you've reach 100 attempts already.

You then better hope the two patners agree on wether or not keeping the baby.

I don't know what was between him and his daughter but it's hard to comprehend how busy one can get. A guy in his position, I'm not surprised he would not have time for kids.

For the remaining %, men should be able to choose abortion or not being the father, as women can choose too. In the XXIth century, 100% births are voluntary.

It's 98% for the condom itself, but if you couple it with the fact that the 2% failure rate has to correspond with an ejaculation in an ovulating female's vagina, the actual effectiveness is much higher.
