The brain as an organ is not something mystical, but it is complex and poorly understood. The mind/body/soul debate has been ongoing for a long time, probably due to the simple fact that it is nearly impossible to test in a controlled way. Consciousness/mind/soul may be a physical consequence of a sufficiently connected neural net. Or it may be a uniquely organic or human trait. I don't know, and neither does anyone else! I prefer real beer, real women and real friends, and I'd be happy to meet Head-Fi'ers now to one (a real beer, that is ).

Sorry about that. I am no biologist but I wanted to express my feeling toward death. I have a slight idea how complicated is the brain and understand the most trivial of it. The reason why I "pictured" the brain as a PCB might be because I'm a software engineer (nowhere near biology). The light you turned on is very appreciated. I also know that nothing have been fully tested about what happen after death but as I stated, I was just merely trying to express my toughts.

I do also prefer real beer but it's quite hard to drink a beer with someone in asia when you're in america. That's what I meant.

I know that I might not be really clear but it's because english is not my first language. I do hope I'll get better as time pass.

66 years left for me!

Priorities young Crappy. Gotta start PARTYING more!

51 years for me... how the heck did it give me a 76 and you a 66? I'm a smoker for ****'s sake. Of course I also listed my current, past, and any future planned jobs as being manually oriented. Sitting at a desk makes me itchy, unless I've already lifted my 3 tons for the day, in which case I'm fine at my own desk.

What's really interesting is the breakdown of how certain factors have affected the results.

Quote:

If you do not smoke, your life expectancy would be 3.41 years longer

Really? That's all? Pfft.

Quote:

If you have 2-3 drinks per day, your life expectancy would be 0.44 years longer

I listed less than one drink per day. I'm supposed to be drunk more to live longer? Interesting.

Quote:

If you do not drive, your life expectancy would be 0.47 years longer

Ok, I'll start riding a bike on major highways then. Yay for science.

Quote:

If you become a conditioning exercizer, your life expectancy would be 0.58 years longer

And I could spend 3 years of my life in a gym. No thanks.

Quote:

If you consume all 5 types of food everyday, your life expectancy would be -0.00 years longer

I put down that I consume 4 of their 5 food types on a daily basis. Fruits are a bit lacking in my diet, but it's good to know that they don't matter.

Quote:

If you sleep 7 hours a day, your life expectancy would be 0.51 years longer

What's wrong with my 8 average? Screw this thing, I predict I'm going to be hit by lightning soon, the way it's been hitting Florida over the last week or so.

 

[philodox]

Both calculators said 80 years old, so that's 52 years left for me.

I'm sort of surprised that I've been within my optimum weight range since I was 16, though it has gone up and down a fair bit. I suppose it would be better if I was in that weight range and in good shape though.

I liked this part, so clean cut:

The three biggest positive factors that you have going for you are:
1. Personality type
2. Education
3. Weight

The two biggest negative factors that you have going for you are:
1. Gender
2. Smoking

 

[NightWoundsTime]

I didn't count that you're Canadian. That should definitely factor. Maybe it does, just that it factors as a positive AND a negative and thus negates itself.

[mikaronni]

I've got 72 years left.

 

[xnothingpoetic]

Yeah, your from Canada- add like 50 years to that...

 

[ecclesand]

32 years left for me. Just enough to see my kids have their own kids and I can spoil them rotten so they drive their parents bat**** crazy.

Is it just me or do the charts in the PDF that the OP linked to look like the 1040 Income Tax Rate tables at first glance? Must be my advanced years...

 

[Nicolas2305]

Life Expectancy: 83.55
Lower Quartile : 75.93
Median Lifetime: 86.06
Upper Quartile : 93.89

86 - 23 = 63 more years?! Damn life is long!

Quote:

If you do not have any sexual partner, your life expectancy would be 0.35 years longer

No sexual partner for a "great" 4 month more when I'll be old and not able to feed myself... I prefer to have a sexual partner...

 

[Pecker]

Slightly morbid poll!

I'll roll with it though

I don't want to jinx myself though so I won't say an age!

 

[krmathis]

47 years left.
Meaning that I probably will not catch up my grandfather, who's turning 94 this summer...

 

[nibiyabi]

One said 85 and the other 95, which is about right given my family's history. Average age of death of my great-grandparents and their siblings is around 93.

You are 21 right now, and have estimated 85-95 years left. Wow!

 

[Happy Camper]

1 day. And if I wake to another, one more.

 

[-=Germania=-]

91 - that is my expected age.

I must be living life pretty well I guess!
