It's obvious once someone explains it, but the natural thing seems to be to think that a 76 year old won't live long but a baby will.

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.

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.

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