paul christiano suggests, and i agree, converting risks of death (e.g. micromorts) to expected time living lost. much more visceral, plus goes down as your expected time to live goes down which is actually correct, e.g. it makes more sense to take micromorts as you age

The main problem with that article is it measures per hour of participation, not per year for typical exposure. So although gliding, general aviation, motorcycling are roughly comparable per hour it’s more likely the hour a day commuting kills you, not 2 hrs flying in the w/end.
