I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve thought that what this country needs is more druggies running around.

More people like Bill Atkinson? That sounds good to me.

How can you look at this and think "druggies"?

More people like Bill Atkinson and Steve Jobs sounds great to me!

Drug culture had a big influence on the creation of modern desktop computing. https://www.amazon.com/What-Dormouse-Said-Counterculture-Per... is the best-researched book I've seen on this, but after living in the bay area for 35 years and talking to lots of people, there is a lot more drug use that impacts technology than most people would expect.
