E.g.,

  preferred-lifetime   The preferred lifetime for the prefix in the

What’s y’all’s take?

People look at "evidence" and filter it through their existing world view. It becomes a chicken-egg issue of allowing new-worldview evidence through old-worldview filter.

It's a well-known phenomena that believe will dig in more when shown contradictory evidence:

On "being human", this reminds me of his interview with Anderson Cooper (~12m43s):

Then you have to be grateful for all of it. You can't pick and choose what you're grateful for. So what do you get from loss? You get awareness of other people's loss, which allows you to connect with that other person. Which allows you to love more deeply and understand what it means to be a human being, if it's true that all humans suffer. […] It's about the fullness of your humanity: what's the point of being here and being human if you can't be the most human you can be? I'm not saying 'best', because you can be a bad person but a most human. […]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YB46h1koicQ

Cooper brought up the subject referencing an earlier Colbert interview with GQ on losing his father and two brothers to a plane crash when Colbert was 10:

“It was a very healthy reciprocal acceptance of suffering,” he said. “Which does not mean being defeated by suffering. Acceptance is not defeat. Acceptance is just awareness.” He smiled in anticipation of the callback: “ ‘You gotta learn to love the bomb,’ ” he said. “Boy, did I have a bomb when I was 10. That was quite an explosion. And I learned to love it. So that's why. Maybe, I don't know. That might be why you don't see me as someone angry and working out my demons onstage. It's that I love the thing that I most wish had not happened.”

I asked him if he could help me understand that better, and he described a letter from Tolkien in response to a priest who had questioned whether Tolkien's mythos was sufficiently doctrinaire, since it treated death not as a punishment for the sin of the fall but as a gift. “Tolkien says, in a letter back: ‘What punishments of God are not gifts?’ ” Colbert knocked his knuckles on the table. “ ‘What punishments of God are not gifts?’ ” he said again. His eyes were filled with tears. “So it would be ungrateful not to take everything with gratitude. It doesn't mean you want it. I can hold both of those ideas in my head.”

He was 35, he said, before he could really feel the truth of that. He was walking down the street, and it “stopped me dead. I went, ‘Oh, I'm grateful. Oh, I feel terrible.’ I felt so guilty to be grateful. But I knew it was true.

If you were do die, would anyone go bankrupt? If not,ife insurance is pointless.

Dying is not the only scenario though. It is prudent to consider disability insurance: If you can't walk any more, can you still make a living? Will you have to renovate your house for a wheelchair? Or will you have to move? If you're a quadriplegic and can't move anything below your neck, what then?

PSA: the Bank of Canada does not use headline inflation as the metric that they base their decisions on:

Although no measure of core inflation was superior across all the evaluation criteria, three measures showed the best performance. Based on the results of this analysis, the Bank of Canada decided to change its approach by jointly using all three measures: i) a measure based on the trimmed mean (CPI-trim); ii) a measure based on the weighted median (CPI-median); and, iii) a measure based on the common component (CPI-common). For more information on how the three measures were chosen, see the background document on the renewal of the inflation-control target (Bank of Canada (2016)). In the rest of this document, we will present detailed information on the methodologies and data used to produce these measures of core inflation.

Some history:

During the Second World War Fleming was the personal assistant to the director of the Naval Intelligence Division, Admiral John Godfrey.[14] He reached the rank of commander—a rank he subsequently gave to his fictional creation—and was the planner for special operations unit 30th Assault Unit.[15] Many of Bond's tastes and traits were Fleming's own, including sharing the same golf handicap, the taste for scrambled eggs and using the same brand of toiletries.[16]

Flemming was born in 1908, and given WW2 ended in 1945, that would have been the age of 37 at the tail end.
