I will give trusted people access to my account in the case of my death such that they can resolve. Multiple choices are possible.

I might add more options down the line.
Feel free to ask for clarifications.
If I live to see 2100, this market closes and only that option will be chosen.

About me:
- I don't want to die
- I'm born in 1997
- 179 cm
- 60 ~ 65 kg
- amab
- I have no lethal chronic conditions
- I live in the Netherlands
- I commute by car ~50km per week
- I do desk work
- I do kickboxing and Zumba 3x/week
- I am allergic to nuts, but can eat them in micro doses (if I die due to this, it will count as food poisoning)
- I am mildly asthmatic
- I drink ~2 glasses of wine a week
- I do not smoke

Man-made related causes of death resolve this entire question to N/A if the identity and/or incentives of the culprit are unclear for the purpose of preventing perverse incentives. If the cause of death is uncertain and possibly man-made, then this question could also still resolve to N/A for the same reason.

This question resolves regardless of whether my corpse is successfully preserved by cryonics.

It seems like people have chosen the more “exciting” ways to die for some reason, probably because they stick with the brain. IDK why terrorist is that high seems pretty crazy. Also they live in the Netherlands so dying by transport injury seems very unlikely, even if you do commute by car. (The Netherlands is renowned for its low traffic fatalities because of good road design+walkability.)

bought Ṁ10 Suicide YES

@LucasKozbinski I think the AI will convince us to commit suicide, so I think that resolves as suicide and not AI since technically chose to kill ourselves instead.

@TimothyBandors really? why would it? also it would also resolve to catastrophe due to AI, if there was anyone left to resolve it

@Jono3h IMHO if you make the free decision to kill yourself post learning of an incoming catastrophe but before the catastrophe itself, the last human alive should resolve this in my favor

Natural Disease

Why is this so low?????

How do you decide between “aging” and “natural diisease” if, say, you die of cancer at 91? Also, if you’d like to share, do you smoke regularly and what is your BMI?

@mariopasquato Both will be chosen!
I do not smoke, I am born with Asthma so I have been very cautious with that.
I'm 179cm and tend to weight between 60 and 65kg.

@Jono3h Looks like you will live long
