OT: How long does one live, if no natural death?

[skibrian]

In America, if one didn't die of a natural cause, this is how long one would live (in a simulation of 100 individuals), on average before a freak accident killed one instead.  Hint, the model results in an 8,938 year life span, on average:

Would a simulation of 4 billion change anything? And would I still get my Roth IRA penalty free at 59 and 1/2?

[skibrian]

Yeah...you'll get your Roth...then have 40,000 years wondering where you get your money to live!

I guess that rules out a 4% distribution rate...

In all seriousness, if silicon valley titans get their way and do end natural death, a national income scheme would be required...along with regulating birth rates to a limit where the world can feed the population, and yet, incentivize humans to actually do work that is not yet automated.

seriously, if peter thiel, sergey brin, and a host of others have their way and their medical investments cure cancer and heart disease, and everything...this world will be thrown into turmoil like you've never seen.  a movie recently explored what this world might look like, and it was a great flick!

The lesson here is that people who decided they are in charge of our lives are certifiably insane and lack basic competency. Which should be obvious by now. The conclusion is that this ends in tears, and you can't escape it because they also prepare bunkers for the nuclear war with Russia or China or both if their lunacy takes unexpected turn. I just hope they are literally exterminated before they cause more damage.
