If the world is ending tomorrow, then much less. If we discover immortality tomorrow, then much more.

- joosters 5y agoHow does immortality affect the discount rate? Just because you or I will die, doesn't stop our heirs (or companies) from collecting income from assets. I'd suggest that discovering immortality might have the opposite effect, it would only bring more uncertainty about the future.
- karpierz 5y agoSure, I'm not trying to argue about how to appropriately price the rate; just that it's variable.
