- mehrdadn 7y agoAnd you're equating a lifetime chance with a < 1 year chance because... why? Is having a 1% chance of dying in the next hour the same to you as having a 1% chance of dying in the next 100 years? Is having a 99% chance of dying in the next hour the same to you as having a 99% chance of dying in the next 100 years?
