How many Quality Adjusted Life Years do you estimate you have left?
[pollid:43]
Include whatever uploads, uplifts, descendant entities, etc. you deem to still be “you”; time spent in a deanimation vault counts as 0 QALYs.
(nods) Saw that, makes sense. Just so you know, at least one “more” answer reflects, not a confident prediction that the answerer will live more than a millenium, nor a two-order-of-magnitude increase in quality of life, but a willingness to identify fractionally with billions of living people.
How to aggregate across the distribution of possibilities? Average? Median? Most likely range?
I’m 33, so it wouldn’t take too much life extension to get me to 133, but a fair amount… I’d rate the probabilities as roughly 40%, 30%, 10%, 20%. So, each of the three answers is different.
The most likely range. I’d rather this wasn’t skewed by people putting down “more” just because they anticipate a tiny probability of a vast lifetime, but failing that expect to be dead as usual before very long.
The bug concerning reporting of results is still present: currently the counts for the four categories are displayed as 9, 0, 0, 0, with a total of 39. According to the downloaded data, the counts are 28, 4, 1, 6 = 39.

Should I do a weighted sum over descendant entities I deem fractionally me, or just over entities I deem “me”?
However you choose to calculate it, that’s your estimate of remaining QALY’s.
For descendant entities you deem fully “you”, but with fractional chances of existing, see my reply to Luke.

I don’t see how to correct for that.
