    I thought he was going to regret trying to cure cancer with fruit juice.

      I think it is humanizing that he regretted being a total dickwad to the people he knew personally instead of bemoaning his absurd faith in homeopathy. Of course the only people who are able to judge that are his estranged children whom he ignored and disowned.

      But I don't wanna miss out on the action, so I judge him unfavorably for being a capitalist, which dehumanizes the laboring classes, and I judge him unfavorably for being an asshole directly to people he didn't even personally know. Steve Jobs was not a good person and is undeserving of the hero worship he receives.

        Per his quote, he wasn't apologizing or wishing he'd done anything differently - he wanted his children to validate his decisions

          Narcissists don't regret abusing people around them. They regret the absence of people to continue abusing.

      Also spending a shit-ton of money to put himself higher on the organ transplant list only to find out you don't cure cancer with organ transplants either
