The biography of Steve Jobs brings to the fore interesting and unusual things from the life of the former CEO of the Cupertino company again from her we learn that the man in the image above is one of the characters who inspired the former co-founder of Apple. The man's name is Robert Friedland, an LSD dealer from whom Steve Jobs bought his drugs in his youth. Jobs met Friedland when he was trying to sell a typewriter and the meeting was more than unusual, the former CEO of Apple being invited and agreeing to watch a sex match between Friendland and his girlfriend.
Steve met him after arranging to sell him his IBM Selectic typewriter. When Jobs came into the room, Friedland was having sex with his girlfriend, and insisted Jobs stay and watch, which Jobs did. Friedland then formed a commune out on an apple orchard that was granted to him by an eccentric millionaire uncle. People did acid and talked a lot about Eastern spiritualism there, and the Hare Krishnas would cook them meals. Steve eventually decided communal living was not for him after sleeping in the kitchen and watching people steal each other's food at night. Upon leaving the commune, though, Steve Jobs had the inspiration to name his company Apple.
The story between the two continues with a small community formed by Friedland in an apple orchard inherited from an eccentric uncle, the orchard where the people of the "community" lived, used LSD and had various discussions related to spirituality. Steve Jobs was part of this community, he lived in that community for a period of time and from it he took the idea of calling his company Apple. It was also there that Steve Jobs took over the idea "reality distortion field", that is, a subjective way of looking at things, a way characteristic of Jobs who was able to convince anyone that anything is possible even if in reality things were completely different.
Although it seems hard to believe, Steve Jobs borrowed from the behavior of the drug seller and this was evident in his relations with employees. In conclusion, Steve Jobs was an unconventional man in his youth and in the following days we will learn more and more similar things about him.
