Re: the title. What are inevitable facts of life?
- user9756 11y agoDeath? I mean, if you will not die, you could die? And taxes of course.
- williamhpark 11y agoI prefer the original title of the article: "The secret of living to 200 years old". Does what it says. Not sure why it was changed.
- coldtea 11y agoWell, until now (and in the foreseeable feature) death is one of them.
- eli_gottlieb 11y agoWell, there's the laws of physics, and the Second Law of Thermodynamics pushing the arrow of time forwards. Beyond that, not much is actually inevitable: people just prefer to rationalize anything awful as Inevitable because this gives them a comforting sense of metaphysics.
- azatris 11y ago2nd law of thermodynamics only applies on macroscopic scale. So not really inevitable. Plus, the laws of physics are based on a set of axioms, which don't necessarily have to be true.
- eli_gottlieb 11y ago>Plus, the laws of physics are based on a set of axioms, Well no. They're based on empirical observations.
- kitd 11y agoWell, the good news is that there's still taxes.
