[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."

I see ... in all nearby Everett branches he would have the same kind of cancer, but make different decisions. Further out, the cancers would only be subtly different from each other. Further out still, he might not have cancer at all, rather than different kinds of cancer.

Yes, it would have been much more accurate to speak of a perfect inference machine with the same information; only then could I integrate over all the possible cancers he 'might have had' as I intended. Thanks.

In nearby Everett branches Jobs would have made the same decisions.

EDIT: I think sometimes the concept of Everett branches are used in a misleading way on this website when people use the language of large-universe cosmology.
