If the prediction cannot be altered I might. Because that way I basically have plot armor until I die.

If that information just reflects the current path I'm on but changes based on my actions I don't want to hear it.

The latter is an obvious smart deal to take. Just make sure to check yourself for cancer, not walking on a red light etc. according to the thing that kills you. Otherwise do the same. Odds are you would gain more time with your loved ones.

I'm still assuming death is inevitable at some point.

If I get "death by plane crash" for example, I don't necessarily have to fly for this to happen.
