I don't see how this would work. If I see that I would die at the age of, say, 75, does that mean living recklessly before then means I won't die? That it's my fate to die exactly at 75? That I can stop taking care of myself?

Being aware of that date would change behavior whether you want to or not, and would those actions of mine not have consequences?
