There's a version of this that may actually be correct if you restrict it to the number of humans ever older than 60 years old, but I admit I never followed up

There's a version of this that may actually be correct if you restrict it to the number of humans ever older than 60 years old, but I admit I never followed up on that one. The roughly 100 billion ever claim I recall more readily as it's an interesting remark to give to people who think they see ghosts to see what they think of it and the related question of where they all are.
- crazygringo 3y agoLooks like that is false as well: https://www.demographic-research.org/volumes/vol36/54/36-54.pdf https://www.demographic-research.org/volumes/vol36/54/36-54.... According to that, it's between 5.5 and 9.5% for age 65, nowhere close to 50+%.
- irrational 3y agoWhy are the ghosts usually wearing clothes from the last few hundred years? Where are the Bronze Age ghosts? Or do ghosts dissipate after a period of time? Has anyone ever asked these questions of ghost believers?
