My younger kid: “I don’t want to die. I want to live forever.”
My older kid: “It’s not that everybody dies, it’s just that everybody so far has died.”
Roughly (very roughly) 107 billion people have ever lived. Given a living population of 7 billion, this means it’s much too soon to use that saying that “life is a condition with a 100% mortality rate”. Empirically, life is a condition with a ~93% mortality rate.
Seven percent of all the people who have ever lived, it’s not too late to save.
