[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 was measuring 'nearby' as within a stone's throw.

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.

How so? I thought you were just quibbling about the meaning of 'nearby'..

I doubt you were measuring. You seem to be classifying only by features you care about, a common flaw when doing physics.

"Nearby everett branches" means universes in similar quantum states to ours. Everyone (recently) dead but in the exact same place is a much nearer branch than everyone alive but 1 cm to the left.

If all the Everett branches that branched off of ours since Jobs discovered he had cancer were represented by a football field, then the branches in which Jobs made a different decision regarding that cancer would be represented by a single blade of grass way off on the touchdown line. This is my understanding of the matter. EDIT: The blade of grass next to it is one where Jobs forgets he has cancer, the one next to it is one where Jobs gives up his material possessions and becomes a monk, the one next to it is one where Jobs suffers brain damage due to an unexplainable quantum event in his skull...
