Is there anything from finance or gambling that influences your thinking on longevity?
I think managing risks like you do in finance carries right over to managing risks in life. For example, the risk of being killed by an automobile is about 1 basis point per year in the United States [i.e., one chance in 10,000 of being killed by an automobile each year]. But it’s about 80 basis points over a lifetime in the United States. So that’s a risk that you can think about, quantify and manage. For example, obey the rules, have short commutes instead of long commutes, drive safe cars instead of risky cars and so on. You can cut the risk in half or more.
Я со своей стороны планирую в итоге переехать в ranch чтобы в доме не было ступенек.
