          Actually, only around 92% of all people who ever lived, died. So there is a chance!

            The later in history you’re born, the lower your chances of dying. People born in 2024 have only a ~3% chance of being dead, while the death rate for people born just 100 years ago is over 99%. We’ve gotten much better at being alive as time goes on!

              This table from the SSA messes me up. Apparently at 119 you’ve still got a 1 in 10 chance of survival. That seems rather optimistic.

                IF you have already lived to 119 ……

                Your life expectancy is 0.6 years ……

                AND you have a one in ten chance of surviving one year
