I'm turning 49 on Saturday. The number of balls I see dropping just past 50 is a little worrying.



Did you set age to 49? If you've made it this far (well done, BTW) you're chances of still ticking for log enough to worry about your 60s are pretty god, >90%.

Still, the possibility of not making it another 10 years is quite a bit higher than I am personally comfortable with, at pretty much any age. If someone has an idea for an immortality startup, I would definitely be willing to pay the $29 subscription. I would even seriously consider the $79 pro tier.


Sign up with Alcor with payment via life insuance. Or donate to the SENS Research Foundation, which is spinning off and seed funding relevant biotech startups these days.


I'm 36, and there's a spike at 37, which immediately drops down to the expected tail-end of a bell curve at 38. There seems to be something in the algorithm that disproportionately weights "next year."
