Ah you're right about that. Looks like I'm probably way off. This random thing google turned up [0] says that a 25 y/o male has like a ~70% chance to make it to 50!
>Given that all of us will die
Something doesn't feel right about this, but I can't figure out what. I'll let it simmer and assume you're correct in the meantime.

- Jack000 8y agoyeah, the probability of death depends on a ton of priors so assuming the distribution is uniform is not quite right either. just intuitively though, a probability of .7% for dying before 50 seems way too low
