The person who, upon becoming ceo of apple, did the equivalent of what McDonnell Douglas did to Boeing when they merged. Shifting them from an honest and reliable company into one that puts money above everything else.
Tim Cook becoming ceo of apple is the equivalent of McDonnell Douglas merging with Boeing. If Steve jobs hadn’t turned down the recommended cancer treatment, apple would be as reliable as it had been all those years ago. If Tim Cook bought Boeing he would probably rush out a new plane every year and make every component proprietary such as engines and landing gear tyres and end up making the plane unsafe by rushing its design like the 737 max and dc-10.
Just like cockblocked by steve jobs....only Tim Cook is the new CEO. When you are about to hit on somebody, only they pull out their ipod and plug in their headphones, blocking them from the outside world.
Jacob: Saw this girl on the train on the way to atlanta, was about to go hit on her but then she pulled out her ipod....
Chris: Damn son you got cockblocked by Steve Jobs.
The grindset is a contemporary ideology of self-exploitation disguised as strength, deeply tied to the aesthetics of the “sigma male” and to new digital forms of patriarchy. It promotes the idea that human worth depends on productivity, economic success, absolute emotional control, and the ability to work endlessly, turning vulnerability, rest, community, and tenderness into signs of weakness. Beneath its rhetoric of discipline and power often lies a profound inability to relate healthily to pain, fragility, and human interdependence.
“That’s the grindset, brother. While weak men sleep and complain, sigma males stay disciplined, work in silence, suppress emotions, and build power while everyone else wastes time chasing comfort.”
