Life Changing Mindset
How do you think the human mindset would change if we all knew the exact date and cause of our death?
Like for example if I just somehow knew that I would die June 21 2056 from a bad car accident, how do you think that would change my mindset?
What if everyone knew this information about themselves?

1. you wouldn't drive on that day .lol2. I don't know, wouldn't you like have a serious phobia of cars from then on? It's kind of obvious the world would go crazy. Never ever know this. Because then you would be freaking PARANOID.
3. Intreasting question: NATURE ITSELF would change you most likely will be seeing tons of people rushing to complete their bucket lists. You might even see people trying to prevent it as much as possible only to be killed by the preddiction (ironic isnt it). You might see a business dedicated to this new fear of death and its date. But elderly will definitly be in horror knowing their wasting their time as their expirartion date draws near. So i belive its a blessing to never know your date of death and be ignorant
Of it.
4. Well people would start living the life they wanna live! I would complete my bucket list! Do everything I wanna do, say everything I wanna say, so there are no regrets.
5. I doubt it would change a vast majority of people as some people are set in their ways.
Illustrating a specific point in the future that they would die, might cause some to take unnecessary risks in their lives as they might be filled with false bravado, that they could potentially survive a fall from an airplane or survive an airplane crash.
Assuming nothing but another eager to prove a death prediction wrong human interaction, I don't see how a definitive date of death could ever hold up short of isolating oneself from all potential harm, much like some of the characters tried in vain to do in the final destination horror series.
Not everyone would or could possess the necessary wisdom or humility to absorb such information without it affecting the way they go about living their day-to-day lives.
6. I think some people who are God-fearing would get really concerned about being ready to enter the next world before the date of their death. They would want to have their ‘spiritual bags packed’ so to speak. That would be their primary concern, what lies ahead of them on the other side. Thus they might try to make amends to those they had harmed, acquire spiritual attributes, etc.
Other people would consider it more important to live life to its fullest in a material sense – make money, travel, enjoy themselves, and experience life fully. This might also include having relationships with other people. They would be concerned that they had little time left in this world so they had better do a lot of activities.
A third set of people might do a little of both. They might want to experience all they can in this world while at the same time be preparing to enter the next world!
Now, if everyone knew this information about themselves results would be as varied as peoples’ personalities. Some people would be anxious about their impending death, while others would be resolved to their fate and just living life one day at a time. Some would live more for themselves, while others would look to a Higher Existence. I think it is human nature to think there will be time to do the things we need to do, to live a better life, sometime later, when we have time. All in all, I think that people would live a better life, a more principled existence, if they knew their days were numbered. So, perhaps the world would be a better place.
