I'm not so sure his Genius was his intelligence. I don't think he was THAT smart. His genius was in his creativity and his ability to motivate others to do their best. He said that when he learned he had Pancreatic cancer, he didnt even know what a pancreas was.

Pancreatic is a killer though, and he did well to survive as long as he did.

Yes, although he was operating on magical thinking, he was fortunate to surive as long as he did. I

think he would have survived longer had he researched his condition and the scientific options rather than going the New Age “healing” route. Trouble is, he thought so, too, but it was too late for concrete thinking based upon the terrible facts of his condition.

It was a do or die situation and he chose to play airy fairy. Like working to put marxists in power while he had all his life and success built on free enterprise. And that is the point of this post.
