Wouldn't you be more likely to live to be 1000 in universes with anti-aging tech?

Anti-aging tech is also not correlated with interpretation of quantum mechanics.

True. I was thinking about the odds of being miserable, and I think they're getting overestimated.

After all, just barely hanging on in great pain is a fragile condition. Living in a branch where good anti-aging tech is feasible, and there are many 1000-year old people, means that you're healthy-- much more likely to live to see the next day.

Ah, interesting point.
