This Slashdot comment by Steve Wozniak about his outlook – The Stochastic Game

The Stochastic Game

Ramblings of General Geekery

This Slashdot comment by Steve Wozniak about his outlook on life is exactly why he’s pretty much the only Apple personality I don’t despise.

A screenshot of the Slashdot comment:

"I gave all my Apple wealth away because wealth and power are not what I live for. I have a lot of fun and happiness. I funded a lot of important museums and arts groups in San Jose, the city of my birth, and they named a street after me for being good. I now speak publicly and have risen to the top. I have no idea how much I have but after speaking for 20 years it might be $10M plus a couple of homes. I never look for any type of tax dodge. I earn money from my labor and pay something like 55% combined tax on it. I am the happiest person ever. Life to me was never about accomplishment, but about Happiness, which is Smiles minus Frowns. I developed these philosophies when I was 18-20 years old and I never sold out."
