That’s true, he did more than just marketing and management. According to reports from his employees and C suite, he was also the one organizing the LSD parties and sometimes firing people HR had just signed a contract with.
hate to break it to you but:
lsd is a wonderful drug and a big reason why they were so innovative… and a big reason why we have the internet at all….
you may have been… misled into thinking an LSD party is like a crack party or something, but people who take lsd are actually interested in expanding their mind and it’s nothing at all like what the man says it’s like.
for example, here’s one paper on it:
….
i don’t think he was a very good person… pretty terrible with how he treated his daughter and employees… but i do think he was very smart, creative, and legitimately concerned with expanding human potential through computers… and successful in that.
the structure of dna was discovered on lsd… much of the internet was created on lsd… one of ibm’s best programmers wrote a good paper on how lsd helped him hold an entire compiler in his head at once… much of silicon valley is currently microdosing lsd (and that’s in San Francisco, btw… capital of lsd).
in short, him throwing lsd parties is one of the best things he did….
(also, bill gates took lsd because of Jobs in order to be more creative, and then became one of the biggest philanthropists ever)
I made zero qualitative statements about LSD - I’m not sure where this mix of a rant with defending the drug came from. You can use it without freaking out about any mention of LSD online, I wasn’t “misled” about anything and made absolutely zero statements about LSD itself.
But as a biologist, I’d like just to respond to your statement:
the structure of dna was discovered on lsd
No it wasn’t, I’m not sure were you got that from, please refrain from making statements about fields you do not have experience with.

Crick, who died ten days ago, aged 88, later told a fellow scientist that he often used small doses of LSD then an experimental drug used in psychotherapy to boost his powers of thought. He said it was LSD, not the Eagle’s warm beer, that helped him to unravel the structure of DNA, the discovery that won him the Nobel Prize.
please refrain from being a condescending jerk just because you’re a biologist….
and you certainly implied that throwing lsd parties wasn’t a good thing… but it is.
You seriously can’t see how the way you wrote that comment all but explicitly states that the LSD usage was a bad thing?
If that wasn’t your intention you need to critically re-examine how you write.
Dune. Mentats. Those guys did LSD, obviously. Thoughts acquire speed and clarity.
It was PCR (the DNA amplification technique) that was invented by a guy who took a lot of LSD and who credited LSD for the creative spark
well no it was also PCR….
but still yes the structure:
