Personally, I think the cancer analogy is ok, but I strongly predict that cancer treatment/prevention won’t provide good inspiration for inner alignment.
For example, we can already conceive of the idea of scanning for mesa-optimization and surgically removing it (we don’t need any analogy for that), but we don’t know how to do it, and details of medical scans and radiation therapy etc don’t seem usefully analogous.
