The Miracle of Compound Interest

Maybe it was the Think and Grow Rich guy that first called compound interest a miracle. I don't know. But a graph of this "miracle" versus time of initial investment looks like this:

It's not as easy to find a graph of the chance of dying versus time, but it looks almost exactly the same if you substitute appropriate linear scales.
The thing is, that graph gets a lot less attention, even though it is a hell of a lot more consistent than interest rates.

They can, but they are not due to environmental constraints and culture.
edit- I guess I assumed you were talking about humans, rather than ideal rabbits or something.

It proves that if compound interest is considered a miracle, getting older and falling prey to illness must also be considered a miracle. It proves the foolishness of investing emotion in the hope of a rich and comfortable future. AND it proves the existence of Jesus, the afterlife, and DMT elves.

obviously it is evil here
you suggest what you want to say by using anything else that has no relation to at all
instead of being yourself your means end, looking at what else existence could justify the present you are for objective life, when obviously you cant look at things for their own facts reality and values..without meaning anything yourself ..
you prefer to easily jump on anything and force its fact being for your ends and look at everything else as a possession to one power too, so you could get to be living without doing anything at all yourself when you are never individually being, then you cant talk about anything
things are only out of being objective constant, not what they look like
like what you mean to deform constant factor, which is the way of gods to abuse truth knowledge to support their positions of powers over existence values
absolute is nothing abstraction value for positive things realities as present existence
you cant use absolutes conditions for speculations, absolute is nothing necessary to anything positive existence out of the same fact
like death at whatever age confirm eternal death of beings livings, and not eternal life to individuals wills or means
it is incredible how far you are insolent to truth
like how a clear objective thing could be totally the reverse in truth ??
that persistence to mean that god is all facts or things are all created.. so never true .. prove me right and not you
it proves how you cant be existing even now the most present reality of you, since you are of what is not there, evil powers even if it is all, still are by reversing truth so they cant be true, that is why they become one life... living from killing the other same non being mean like even you, are using god as a concept life to kill it for your pretense of being living now
what is not true is not even nothing and surely never anyone
so you are the proof that dying is a fact, and mortality in beings condition is saying the truth that you cant witness of course later when you will die for sure that is why the more you die young the more others can profit from that fact as if you were killed, so who possess your rights would look more directly richer of your death
evil ways is the life invention by reversing objective truths known for objective life basic references .. so when you switch what is of evil ways it makes it more evil, more away of truth, so cant makes it true

Compound Interest is the most powerful force in the Universe.
And has been known about since ancient Babylon, i.e. before there even were Jews.

Who fucking cares about compound interest? It's a powerful force only because it lures people into living for the future, when in fact the chance of death is compounding much more reliably along that same timescale. God, this thread pisses me off. Fuck the shroomery.
