Remember, risk of death still sits at 100%.

Strictly speaking, the human condition only has around a 94% fatality rate at the moment.

(110 billion humans in the history of the planet. Over 7 billion currently alive.)

When I see the approximations needed to count the 7 billions humans actually living on earth, I smile at the 110 billions number.

The honest answer would be : we have no actual clue on how many people ever lived on earth, and we can only guesstimate how many are living on it right now.

Census only register people that let themselves be registered. It's probably mildly inaccurate in rich countries and terribly inaccurate in poor or chaotic countries.

Life is a terminal sexually transmitted disease.
Does it? I'm not dead yet.
