Your life is not sampled at random, you have to be one year old before being 75; before being 1000 before being 10¹⁰. > I'm less likely to find you > You find you every day, according to you, every day should not happen, only being 10¹⁰⁰⁰⁰⁰⁰⁰⁰⁰⁰⁰⁰⁰⁰⁰⁰⁰⁰⁰⁰⁰⁰⁰⁰⁰⁰⁰⁰⁰⁰ is likely, it's just non-sense, your life is not random sampled, yesterday happen before today and before tomorrow. That doesn't make today less likely than tomorrow. > being less than a year old than being less than a thousand years old. > > If my life is infinite, then it seems surprising that I find myself less > than 75yrs old. > It's not, because it is mandatory that in that long lifespan you find yourself 75. You cannot be very old before having been less old.
