10 famous geniuses and their drugs of choice

79. He deliberately opted for substitute procedures that didn't make sense.

He made choices that he later regretted. He didn't 'choose' his manner of death. He ignored reality. Not the behavior of a 'genius', IMO.

Unfortunately, he spent the remainder of his life believing he could have been cured if he had not delayed his surgery for nine months. “According to Steve Jobs’ biographer, Walter Isaacson, the Apple mastermind eventually came to regret the decision he had made years earlier to reject potentially life-saving surgery in favor of alternative treatments like acupuncture, dietary supplements and juices. His early resistance to surgery was apparently incomprehensible to his wife and close friends, who continually urged him to do it.” “We talked about this a lot,” says his biographer. “He wanted to talk about it, how he regretted it. … I think he felt he should have been operated on sooner.” This falsehood was repeated to the world shortly after Jobs death in a 60-minutes interview with Mr. Isaacson.

Admittedly, we all have our flaws. My point is that just because Jobs is listed as a 'genius' in the article doesn't mean he was any different from the rest of us. So his drug use is, IMO, irrelevant. Or even a refutation of drug use.
