I know an 89 y.o. individual who did absolutely everything wrong in regards to healthy living.
This person has more recently survived, TWICE, getting Covid; this included two stints in ICU.
In lieu of listing 10 things that will ensure an early “natural” death, you could just put this individual’s photo.
This person is still alive, albeit in not so great health, but still alive.

Then we hear stories of how those in very good health – they exercised, ate good foods, etc., – just drop dead, suddenly, without warning.

My takeaway from all this is that one’s genetic makeup is the primary factor in longevity. True, best to do whatever you can to be/stay healthy – it can’t hurt (I don’t think), – but it does not necessarily mean you will not drop dead at 65 years of age.

If it makes you feel better, the Social Security actuarial tables are not detecting any sign of human lifespan topping out yet. All ages have higher probabilities of living longer than they used to, and there’s not yet any bending in the curve that would indicate an upper limit is being reached.

That said, there probably is one, and the Reaper comes for us all eventually. We just don’t know when it will be.

That’s impressive. Re: the 79 year old in the cycle race … I checked and he died last year. Damn, it’s a crap shoot at this age.

Wow!

Maybe he was trying to break into the movies.

“Have you ever wondered how filmmakers created mind-bending visual effects long before computers and CGI existed? In this video, we break down the innovative in-camera techniques used in classics like 2001: A Space Odyssey, Metropolis, Ben-Hur, The Invisible Man, and early George Méliès films. From growing heads and floating pens to impossible camera tricks, watch through to the end to see how these early visual effects shaped modern filmmaking.”

Almost all text with only a couple of videos, but the links from this post to some other AI-related articles looked interesting.
