Is it a contest for you? If so, why?

It's not a contest, it's a frank acknowledgement that we will all die and a tiny fraction of the ways to die are pleasant.

Most of us will get cancer or heart disease or dementia and slowly whither away regardless of how we live our lives. At some point, min/maxing and being ultra cautious is utterly pointless.

If you want to engage in a discussion about when min / maxing risk-taking vs life-expectancy makes sense on a personal, or regulatory level, I'm all ears...

Otherwise, good contribution. 👏👏👏
