I had the same reaction to Narcos, you see twenty people get hosed down with a TEC-9 at a stoplight and you start to kind of expect it to happen to you.

To my surprise, I was sort of like “well, what the hell else am I gonna do?” and it was calming.

If there’s one way I’m definitely not expecting to go, it’s being hosed down with a tec-9 at traffic lights

More, maybe, hosed down with Dijon mayonnaise and trampled by ravenous goats

Essentially nobody under the age of 50 dies, especially in the western world: ourworldindata.org/…/number-of-deaths-by-age-grou…

Having learned this lets me quickly resolve thoughts of “what if I die” or “what if this person who is important to me dies” because I can reasonably predict whether that death will happen soon.
