Are skills just for suckers? Look at Wozniak.

>Woz designed and built the apple computer
>Jobs didn't know anything about computers
>Woz got scammed by Jobs when he wrote code for Atari, and Jobs kept all the money for himself
>Woz cried like a bitch once he found out he got scammed by his personal friend
>Jobs made way more money than Woz even though he didn't code
>Everyone one knows and remembers Jobs, thinks he personally invented Apple computers, while nobody knows who Woz is unless they're neckbeard computer nerds who correctly see themselves in him

It seems like ruthlessly manipulating everyone around you like Jobs did is the real key to success and not "skills", which is just a form of nerd cope.

Knowing how to fuck over people without negative consequences is a skill

woz won out in the end. he didn't die of pancreatic cancer from a lifetime of sin like jobs did.

there is no such thing as no negative consequences, the trick is to accept the price. Look at jews, they are very good at accepting the price that they will hurt people by the tricks they pull and probably be reviled by them for it, but they are OK with it and just do their thing regardless. In a cucked society that is the way forward.

However, the small serving of justice for Jobs screwing over Woz is Gates screwing over Jobs by stealing his OS. Granted, it did not exaclty ruin him, but it make IBM PC compatibles a standard instead of Apple PC. The world might have looked quite differently today, if Jobs had kicked Gates to the kerb instead.

And how many threads on 4chan do you see asking how to learn how to fuck over people? It's always losers telling other losers that they need to learn sperg stuff like coding, or if they're an extra special kind of stupid, trades.

Jobs was a ruthless businessman and a genius marketer. That was his 2 skills.

It's almost like people who develop skills are just offering themselves up to be used by those who understand that it's better to tell people with skills what to do and profit from that, rather than waste time working on that stuff themselves. Skillscucks are literally resources to be exploited.

You need to know at least the basics of a specific field to scam people.
I'm sure that jobs wasn't a completely ignorant tard.

He definitely couldn't code or do anything technical. He was just an ideas guy who found a sucker dumb enough to work for him.

People fucking over other people is such common behavior that asking to know more about it means you're retarded.

Is it true Steve, when confronted by Woz, simply chewed on a fresh carrot and said. "Ehhh, Woz up Doc?" Then he disappeared in a plume of smoke and went on to invent the ACME iPhone known today as the Apple iPhone, allegedly?

I guess it's fair to ask the question: what is your skill set? Jobs made more because he made business happen. He finessed people. if you're a coder who cannot or will not do this then prepare for a life of coding and not leading...

You check out who did the ‘Think Different’ strategy and what was Jobs initial opinion of it. And we don’t even know who actually came up with ipod. Luck played a much larger role than you can imagine.

This, and it has always been this way: manufacturing side makes less $ than selling side.
