Precisely. I don't expect to die tomorrow, but I probably don't have more than 30 years left either (based on average life-expectancy at the time of my birth).

Precisely. I don't expect to die tomorrow, but I probably don't have more than 30 years left either (based on average life-expectancy at the time of my birth). The actual expiry date is most likely somewhere in-between, but the fact is that very few people get to know until it's too late. Personally, I wouldn't want to know either.
- ganafagol 6y agoLife expectancy at birth is quite different from life expectancy at say 50. Back in Roman times, newborn life expectancy was about 25. But life expectancy of a 25 year old was beyond 50. The remaining time increased. That's not the case today anymore, especially in developed nations, but you get the idea. Your countdown ticks with less that one second per second.
