I think this is a story about anthropic immortality.
Yeah this was my first thought halfway through. Way too many specific coincidences to be anything else.
I did not actually consider this, but that is a very reasonable interpretation!
(I vaguely remember reading some description of explicitly flat-out anthropic immortality saving the day, but I can’t seem to find it again now)
(Perhaps you’re thinking of this https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/EKu66pFKDHFYPaZ6q/the-hero-with-a-thousand-chances)
There’s also a comic series with explicitly this premise, unfortunately this is a major plot point so revealing it will be a spoiler:
Transdimensional Brain-Chip
