Steve Jobs on Capitalism
(Capitalism is not a conspiracy. It is here to fulfill your desires!)
'When you’re young, you look at television and think, There’s a conspiracy.
The [television] networks have conspired to dumb us down.
But when you get a little older, you realize that’s not true.
The networks are in business to give people exactly what they want. That’s a far more depressing thought.
Conspiracy is optimistic!
You can shoot the bastards! We can have a revolution! But the networks are really in business to give people what they want. It’s the truth.'
