It is tragic, at least 8 billion people will die in the next hundred years. ??

Predicting the future is notoriously hard. It is helpful to use colorful language instead of actual numbers.

Like multitudes or hordes

What will we do with all those corpses? Luckily even more people will be born and so it will all work out. Birthrate projections say we will have around 15 bn people alive then.

I'm hoping it won't be in the next hundred days.

Death is not inherently tragic. Under the right circumstances it can actually be quite beautiful.

Only if it is someone else I don't like.

@nicknotes lol, I appreciate where you're coming from... But I meant that immortality would probably suck, especially in a capitalist Society. In a way we earn our rest at the end of all this, could you imagine having to pay rent for the rest of all time.

I'd like to give immortality a try. @Lifestone

And it increases every year.
hmm,
I would say next 50 though,
1/2 we expect and 1/2 from turmoil that is coming.
