Say you get to pick the exact amount of time you'll live from now, and you can't live any shorter or any longer than that. Would you do it? How long would you choose? What if you had to choose a time?

I don’t know if I would. It could be handy knowing when you’re going to die, for financial reasons alone - like, you’ll know if you can go hiring private jets and partying in exotic locations because you don’t have to worry about your money lasting until you’re 92. And I wouldn’t want to live to be 92 anyway, so it would be handy to pop my clogs before the incontinence sets in. But what age do I want to live to? 80? 70? It’s a tough one.
