I am about a quarter if the way through the biography of Steve Jobs, written by Walter Isaacson. So far I can say the following; I appreciate the positive and negative affects of LSD, I understand how selfishness can lead one to great things and how diversity can lead one in the right direction. The dogmatic and individualistic characteristics of Steve seem to be his most powerful weapons. He made a succinct expression on the fact that he was always the one in control, seeking peripheral knowledge and expertise to his own advantage by manipulation, always learning and consuming information he came across, usually dumping the source back where it came from.
From a philosophical viewpoint, I always feel strongly that the outcome is the most important vision to have. For me, Steve was a visionary guy. He could see the bigger picture as if it had already virtually happened in his mind (which it probably had).
