Sometimes it easy to dismiss my ravings as erroneous hunches with little concrete evidence. But to be honest I write only what I know to be true for myself and speculate openly with little attachment to one idea or another. One of the ideas that I have enjoyed entertaining is that the information age is a hippie brain-child and that the technological singularity would bring it full circle to a fulfillment of a mythic destiny for earth. That went along with how I was always sure Steve Jobs has to have done acid, perhaps while he was at Reed here in Portland. It just made sense to me. The geometry of popular culture is usually either very rigid or very organic and I never thought Steve Jobs was some sort of genius as much as he was simply good at listening to the world around him and being open to curved edges through the curves of his own mind. Well now I have been vindicated. This is a 1996 quote by Steve Jobs about Bill Gates from Pingdom:
- I wish him the best, I really do. I just think he and Microsoft are a bit narrow. He’d be a broader guy if he had dropped acid once or gone off to an ashram when he was younger.
