You know, I seem to repeat this mantra at least once a day nowadays:

Yeah, it brings a whole new meaning to the phrase "it's what is in the inside that matters."

I already had that very same feeling with harmless things like playing the bassoon. But this takes it to another level.

I read in an article that Steve Jobs was the War Time CEO of Apple, Tim Cook is the Peace Time CEO of Apple
|
|
|
|
|
That sounds like the sort of thing Jobs would say after popping a few pills

Well, it just goes to show that you shouldn't always believe what you read.

I don't believe you.

One is dead, the other is alive. That's the biggest difference.

Are you sure?

About dead one, or alive?

So Steve is John Hurt and Tim is David Tennant?

Steve is Vito Corleone and Tim is Tom Hagen.

You should read A First-rate Madness[^]
In part it explores the thesis that those with mental illness (specifically depression) see the world far more realistically than those without, and hence make clearer, better (and sometimes harsher) decisions that those that have on the more usual rose-coloured glasses.
I'm not suggesting Jobs suffered from depression, but it is certainly interested reading about how different times call for different leaders.

Actually, some people suspect Steve had bipolar II disorder.
Anyway, I'm not suggesting Jobs suffered from depression, has a very different ring to it
than you might have intended it to have. This feels like "covert" stigmatization, which is just as bad as overt.
Maybe you didn't plan for it, but think about it, attaching a sense of negativity to the fact that someone has
depression is stigmatization.
As someone with first-hand experience, reading something like that isn't cool.
I'm not a militant "you hurt my feelings" kind of guy, just wanted to kindly point that out.

You're not the only one with first hand, up-close-and-personal experience.

That's your call. How about you take it as it was meant to be taken: "I'm not a doctor, I never knew Steve, and I dislike verdicts by media. Whatever Jobs was, he was. I am simply stating clearly that I have no interest in labeling him as anything, good, bad or normal."

Never said I was. 20% of the world population share this experience with me, and anybody else unlucky enough to meet the black dog. I take it from your comment you have been in contact with depression in one form or another, and I'm sorry for that, I would not wish that on anyone.

Sure is. As I said earlier, and I think I made that pretty clear, it's not about me or hurt feelings on my side or whatever, all I wanted to do was point out that this specific form of relativation of one's own words is not without perils of its own. Subtly. Veeeeery subtly Please forgive me if my benevolent intention of simply pointing to this finer nuance of speech as a potential trouble source has been miscommunicated in any way.
Btw, ordered the book, looking forward to reading it, especially considering who the author is.
