Transcendance. Once a person's being becomes so different from the rest of humanity, they tend not to stay alive in our plane of reality. Some days I fear Steve is at this point, though hopefully he won't be too brilliant to have to leave us.
Great first sentence but I hope you're not attempting to compare Jobs with someone like Ghandi.

It can be insensitive, I agree. But at the same time, humour is one of our only ways of making sense of our seemingly random life and death of our existence... Humour, and/or Faith+Enlightenment... or All of the above.
I agree with that 100%. Laughing with is indeed a great stress relief. However, laughing at is to ridicule. Big difference.
Although I hate making fun at other people's misery, I do agree that some sarcasm/irony helps make things less dramatic in an already way to dramatic world....and as we have seen SJ made some fun about his supposed "almost dead" status!

The stock market is like politics. People put crap out there and hope it sticks. Facts are secondary at best.
so true. and the rest of the world revolves around US stock prices and is languishing because of it.
how fickle is that!
