Steve Jobs was on of the great men of history whose efforts transformed the plight of mankind. He joins the ranks with Watt, Bessemer, Tesla, and many others less familiar.
But you are correct, he did not make people better. That is impossible, except, as Christ attempts, by changing men’s hearts, one at a time. And since Christianity, there has been no other effort that holds promise to improve mankind, yet many work to destroy it.
But not altering millions of years of evolution does not negate the fact that for the efforts of Steve Jobs, billions of people are better off and so will their children. As for funding live extension research, Jobs did more than throw money at the problem, he created tools that are already proving invaluable in the outcome of patients.
