Default Re: A Revolution in Thought: Part Two

It's been a few decades out for as long as I can remember.

Someone once told me that insurance folks, who care about this kind of thing in a wildly different way, had concluded that in the absence of death from old age, cancer, etc., life expectancy would be stable at around 200 years. Meaning, no matter how old you are, you're 90% likely to be dead in 200 years. If you're not, well. 90% likely to be dead in another 200 years.
