 | and when you die, you’re dead. |
Are there more people alive right now then people that have ever died? What’s your first thought? I want to say that there are more dead people, but I’m not sure how to figure this out, or the best possible way to make an educated guess.
According to census.gov, there are 6,812,935,148 people alive today. So if we assume an average of 2 people (parents) for every person alive today, then we’d only have to go through 1 generation of dead people to tip the scale to the dead people. If the most common family dynamic is 2 kids per 2 family, then we’re almost at a stand still. Thoughts?
