I’m confused then. “Personal survival” seems like a ‘avoid early death’ metric whereas ‘personal flourishing’ (or something similar) would include typical ‘quality of life’ measures.
Disaster is a recurring part of “the real world” too and some places are more or less dangerous than others in that respect. That seemed to be what you were getting at.
‘early death’ seems redundant, but yes the other analysis I was referring to focuses on avoiding death, not personal flourishment. this includes: proximity to state of the art biostasis services, lifelogging-friendly laws, high paying opportunities / low cost of living & low taxes, good healthcare system, survivalist community, low murder rate, online grocery shopping, good air quality, etc.
This really depends on many factors such as social connectedness (where your connectedness may be higher where most of your friends are, or where it’s easiest to make new friends). The highest longevities in the US are the “ski resort” counties [high altitude may play a role in this] in Colorado, but they’re too expensive for most.
Boston is significantly more disaster-proof than the Bay Area—one of the most disaster-proof of the major hubs outside of Europe.
Like for a ‘zombie apocalypse’?
nnnooo, for the real world
