Schrodinger’s Kid?

deelaundry:

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.
