Clickbait title. I don’t plan to be living over the next few centuries or millennia. There are plenty of reasons to not buy a beach house but this ain’t one of them.

OTOH, you've yet to encounter any conclusive evidence that you're mortal.

Honestly, I'm 195cm so in all likelihood I'm mortal than most people on average

Well, tall people have it harder with pumping blood, so you might be mortaller.
