Would you rather.....
1) Know for sure that you will be happy for the rest of your life - but also know that the date of your death is exactly ten years in the future? You’re guaranteed to be happy, but you only get ten more years.
- OR -
2) Stick with the way things are - no guarantees of happiness, but an unlimited lifespan? NOTE: Unlimited doesn’t mean “immortal.” I should have said, have your normal lifespan. Whatever that is for you. And you don’t know ahead of time.
🤔
Update: what if you were already 85 years old? If you picked option #1, you’d probably come out ahead.
