Please help me understand this. Let’s say I’m a daredevil. My job is to jump from planes and ride bikes over running helicopters, etc.
So let’s say I’m prepping for my latest stunt and there’s a high probability that it’ll kill me. What will be the alternative? Do I just, not do the stunt? Or rather, fate finds a way for that stunt to not happen, perhaps. Maybe by breaking my leg one day before the event?
OR, I can tweak that in my favor and say that there are two options - jumping over a line of burning school buses vs. over a line of running helicopters. Then am I triggering fate to pick only one of these two options (and not the option of breaking my leg a day before)?
If the latter is the case, then I would set up ever increasing death defying stunts and flood the betting market with bets that I won’t die. After all, either stunt is impressive. If the betting process won’t cut it, at least the Red Bull YouTube channel viewership will bring in the moolah for me.
If it is the former, where fate just chickens out and causes me some minor harm (or distraction) so I don’t go get myself killed the next day or the next moment, then what’s the point? Live your life and accept that if you stub your toe, it’s so that you don’t kill yourself of an embolism later. If you miss the bus, assume the bus would have fallen in the water had you been on it.
Hey, my knee jerk answer was what I have always dreamed of doing it if I was immortal - cozy up with all the books ever written.
