I'm no fan of Jobs. I think he achieved some notable but transient things, but I also think he was an egotist who treated many people badly. > he died an ignorant death at his own hand But I wonder why you say something so unkind? Is it not possible that he was, in the end, simply afraid and not able to fully face up to his mortality? As for him possessing philosophical insight, I think that is more likely to be something attributed to him by those who (as you put it) deify him.
