I still don't get how a guy with such brilliant insight could be an absolute moron in other areas (such as his personal medical treatment)…

I don't understand, could you expand on his medical treatment?

[–] anlumo@lemmy.world 28 points 2 years ago (1 children)

He had easily treatable cancer if diagnosed early enough (which it was). He refused treatment, because he insisted on curing himself only using his exclusively fruit-based diet.

When that didn’t help (what a surprise), he finally caved and did try to get treatment, but by then it was too late.

Thank you for your explanation. I didn't really know about his cancer more than the fact that he died from it.
