[LINK] Why did Steve Jobs choose not to effectively treat his cancer?

From Quora:

"Now Mr. Jobs always was a free thinker, a strong believer in spirituality, a vegetarian and a known skeptic of conventional medicine. He chose to reject conventional medicine altogether. He's not alone in that. We come across many people like this and we all know someone in our midst that uses homeopathy or has this known fear of anything "chemical" (to those I always say that everything is chemical, if you think dihydrogen oxide sounds scary you should stop drinking water). Individual freedom of thought and choice is a cornerstone of our modern society and the medical world makes no exception."

the kind that only rationalists have begun to fight back against. Nobody else realizes how sick they are.

Let's not assume that LW (if that is what you mean by rationalists) has the monopoly on rational thought.

As for Steve Jobs, his "reality distortion field" has been legendary for decades, no wonder his opinions weren't always very rational.

It reads to me as rationalists in general
