When you’re born you have a life expectancy of 76 years. But if you make it to 76 your life expectancy is almost 11 more years. So the longer you go the longer your life expectancy. Kind of cool.

It's just because they didn't die early

This. It's all based on conditional probabilities.

The key to immortality: just keep living. That's my plan. So far so good.

It turns out when you live to be 76 you can’t have died before you’re 76.

Fascinating to try and analyze. At 76 years old, column 2 shows only 40% died.

Also interesting that we are buying life insurance when chance of death is only

Based off of the number of GoFundMes I see that are trying to cover funerals

That’s each year though, right? What are the odds that a 25-yo will die before

It's interesting to see that I am in the .9 difference a year range.

None of this seems to factor in what I ate yesterday

Who is more likely to live to 100, a newborn or a 99 year old? I think it helps
