What factors do you expect have the highest likelihood of severely compromising your own quality and/or duration of life, within the next 1, 5, or 10 years?
A family member dying.
Contracting a serious disease, or becoming severely injured from an accident.
Some incident (medical or otherwise) will use the rest of my savings and put me in financial instability.
How do these risks change your behavior compared to how you expect you’d act if they were less relevant to you?
I basically never think about these risks. I guess the money one I do a bit. I use far less money than I could to protect against potentially very costly events.
If those greatest personal risks are not things you categorize as existential risks to all of humanity, how do you divide your risk mitigation efforts between the personal-and-near-term and the global-and-long-term ones?
I rarely think in terms of risk mitigation. Maybe I should more.
