2/10 I like Woz, and I like iWoz, but let me tell ya, no one worships
him because he has the charisma of an highly functioning
Autistic person. Meanwhile, everyone worships Jobs because
he's better looking and does an amazing job promoting himself
as God. I guess this is not the first time in history. Case in
point, Caesar, Napolean, GWB, etc. Why is it that people
throughout history worship assholes?
\_ GWB is in this category? He might have been an asshole, but he's
not good looking like JFK, Reagan and Bill Clinton.
not good looking like JFK, Reagan or Bill Clinton.
\_ Future historians will realize that Dubya belongs
in the same league as Napolean, Caesar, Robert E. Lee
and Steve Jobs.
\_ As someone who basically went up to Woz in a public setting
and went all "fan" on him, and then spent a decent amount of
time telling him why I thought a particular political postion
of his was wrong, I can tell you that Woz is no asshole. At
least in my limited experience of foisting myself on him, in
my own socially inept and obnoxious way no less, I found him
to be an exceptionally nice guy. -phuqm
\_ How did you read this 180 degrees the opposite of what the OP
intended? He said that Jobs was an asshole and that Woz was
a nice but uncharsismatic fellow.
\_ Because he's social inept and obnoxious?
\_ I wouldn't say "no one" worships Woz. He's just only worshiped
by other highly functioning Autistics. Not a huge demographic,
but it probably includes most of us.
\_ I think it says a lot about the CSUA that nobody pointed out
that people worship Jobs because he was responsible for creating
great products and also turning around a totally moribund company. |
