A
strange space-time anomaly surrounding an
individual that makes otherwise
sensible people fully believe in that individual's
unreasonable expectations and
outlandish plans. By far, the strongest measured Reality Distortion Field belongs to
Steve Jobs,
CEO and co-founder of
Apple Computer.
"Like the Bhagwan driving around Rancho Rajneesh each day in another Rolls-Royce, Jobs kept his troops fascinated and productive. The joke going around said that Jobs had a 'reality distortion field' surrounding him. He'd say something and the kids in the Macintosh division would find themselves replying, 'Drink poison Kool-Aid? Yeah, that makes sense.' " - Robert X. Cringely, Accidental Empires
