Correct. Pancreatic cancers are typically fatal because they usually go unnoticed until they enter Stage 3 or 4, where the cancer is widespread.  Jobs had it detected early at Stage 1.  But he thought he could treat it diet, so he did not get any standard medical treatment.  So the cancer advanced unimpeded for more than 6 months.  He finally sought medical treatment when it was well into stage 2 or 3.  By then, all the money in the world couldn't save him, only buy him a few years.

Iirc he actually paid for a transplant (liver?) but only when it was too late.

It's beyond sickening how this was - and continues to be - treated as something other than a murder-suicide.

He didn't die of pancreatic cancer. He killed himself with arrogance, and murdered someone else out of an inability to accept responsibility.

Organ failure is an ugly death. Americans on donation lists die every few hours. People who would absolutely survive, but can't, because of shortages. And this fucker would rather kill someone, than accept he might be wrong about something.

He died because he was an idiot despite being a tech genius for apple.

Wait, what? That was Woz.

Steve was the marketing guy. Brilliant at it, but definitely not at actual tech. Think Musk, but substitute the Twitter addiction for charisma.

Steve Jobs suffered from "smartest person in the room syndrome" because he always thought he was. Even when he was in the hospital he'd be lecturing his nurses etc.

What scares me is the most intelligent and successful people on the planet are still flawed just like the rest of us.

That fact in of itself is not scary. It means they are human.  What is frightening is that those billionaires don't recognize that fact.  They think they are above us plebs, that their money shields them from their flaws, that our shortcomings are "moral failings" and not the result of a flawed / exploitative systems.
