It's way less moving when you remember Jobs was only dying because he tried to treat one of the only actually treatable forms of pancreatic cancer with his diet instead of real treatment. It was still his tech CEO self righteousness that killed him, but just in a way that gave him time to realize how he fucked up.

once you know a bit of Asian philosophy/literature (in which he indulged) you'll see easily how it's a kind of unoriginal copypasta. and knowing his public figure, how that's self indulgent, barely bearable, unsincere. i tend to say that PC killed him; don't want to argue about that, though.

Are you suggesting Steve Jobs was murdered by John Hodgeman?

A John Hodgman's lymphoma more accurately.
