I'm sure Woz has a fine understanding of "how humans operate", perhaps even better than you or I. He has worked with some of the most important individuals and companies in this industry.
Woz is not dumb. His point was that he chose to adopt this mindset on purpose. He'd rather be the "average person joking all the time than a powerful businessman stressing over work everyday".
By not calling out Jobs for screwing him out of $5,000, you can easily say Woz was just avoiding confrontation. But I really think his whole mindset transcends that. It just wasn't important to him. And that's how Woz lived his whole life, simply focusing on the things that really mattered to him.
I have always been so impressed with how true to himself Woz was.
- fghh45sdfhr3 14y agoHis point was that he chose to adopt this mindset on purpose. Exactly. Wozniak and Jobs weren't just opposites. Wozniak is the anti-Jobs. And it makes me wonder if the deliberate personal philosophy Wozniak assumed ever got under Jobs' skin. Obviously it would have been unintentional but could have bothered Jobs more than we can imagine.
- dba7dba 14y agoI think Wozniak did get under Jobs' skin. Wozniak was never given early access to iPhone or other iDevices afaik. He had to line up to get them like everyone else.
- ImprovedSilence 14y agohaha, it appears to me that woz was a better Buddhist that Jobs.
