All-Cause Mortality? Is it make you also somehow immune to fire arms for example? Just the title makes the article to view unserious.



>Is it make you also somehow immune to fire arms for example?

No, you have to start off with daily injections of small arms fires (think .22 caliber) in order to begin building immunity. Over time you gain immunity and then can work your way up to larger calibers.


It is a Reddit worthy response, but it immediately made me think of a KungFu movie I saw in the 80s where the monks were trained to withstand gunshots (multiple) to their heart. Now I just cannot find what (incredibly bad but apparently memorable) movie that was!

Hacker News. I’m an idiot. But I stand by the rest!


Reminiscent of the biological testing approach here:

All cause mortality is just a categorical bucket.


Statistically perhaps? I.e. there surely are chemicals and infections which make you more, hmmm, adventurous. Perhaps it might make you more careful and less likely to get shot.
