I don’t want to die today, and tomorrow I’m not going to want to die, and the day after I’m not going to want to die, and so on. Therefore, I want to live forever — proof by induction on the natural numbers.

These websites will look so funny 100 years from now when everyone involved is dead. It will look to the future exactly like emperors drinking mercury to extend their lives. I love it.

  Drinking mercury is quite a bit different than having dozens of biomarkers showing that you're 95+ percentile in health and fitness.

    There are also people who have drunk alcohol and smoked tobacco their entire lives and are in the same percentaile for health.

I liked the song I'm listening to 1 minute in. I liked it 2 minutes in. Therefore, I want to listen to this song forever -- proof by induction on the natural numbers.

And I want to become a billionaire tomorrow. Except there is some actual very small probability of me becoming a billionaire, but I am nearly absolutely certain that one day I am going to die (save for some miracle-grade event). This worries me about as much as the fact that the sun will rise tomorrow.
