Thank you for the well thought out reply and comments to specific things I said. I can't argue with you since you are right in so many aspects "in general". :) We could have quite a lengthy discussion that would last the night.
As far as Steve Jobs goes... that is an entire topic in its own right. Something really bugs me about that situation and I don't take it at 100% face value. But I don't know. I just suspect.
On the other hand, if you are a person who holds controversial views, are unafraid to call out people in power or criticize powerful mass psychologies like religion and other forms of mass delusion, it is best not to publicize information about yourself like whereabouts, what you look like etc., because this gives these forces an easier target to neutralize and can lead to problems in your life like employment, decent housing, or your very life itself in some parts of the planet.
Yes, I do know... and that's why I don't. However, its inevitable... if they want you, they have no problems finding you. I don't want violence nor to be part of any sort of uprising, take over, or anything of that start. I'm as passive as they come. Perhaps that's why I haven't had an issue. Nonetheless, it's not larger giants I'm worried about. It's more about that little troll, who has a mental deficiency enough to cause a living hell for someone. The small few dozen or so that cause problems for online people. That's why I'm especially private.
I come from the idea that live and let live is an important rule.... We may disagree, and if so, no need to stay and tolerate... find your group and live happy too. It's hard... I don't know. I do what works, until I can't. :)
...and when I say "you", I'm addressing them (the trolls). :)
Naturally, we don't know the full details of the Steve Jobs story. We just have the mass media versions. I just wanted to put forth an example of a very talented, intelligent individual who regretted his medical decisions. Pancreatic cancer moves like a fire storm. There is no time; action must be taken immediately, but even then it is still a crapshoot.
And given the fact that doctors, through their "training" kill far more by misdiagnosis and incorrect prescribing of synthetic pharmaceuticals, kill more people than die on our highways in collisions, is good reason to be very skeptical of the medical profession -- in general.
On the other hand, trauma surgeons & physicians provide a tremendous value and save lives every day, and they are trained by the same profession. So one has to be wise and not lump every member of a profession under the same 'label', good or bad. They are people first, and that is how we should deal with them, as individuals, not as "authority" figures to be worshiped or respected due to a title.
Like so many institutions, there is much disinformation. Research Rockefeller's role in medicine and how influenced it and around the turn of the last century (1900s) and you can begin to understand the need to be very skeptical and cautious.
I gave this post a full 100% upvote because it is a good example of what comments should be.
Great point about Rockefeller. I've only recently got that reality on my radar. I need to research it further.
