Tyler Cowen asks, “How big is your chance of dying in an ordinary day?”

See Tyler’s post here or read “The Norm Chronicles: Stories and Numbers about Danger” to find out.

FYI, Tyler includes this quote from the book: “A Micromort can also be compared to a form of imaginary Russian roulette in which 20 coins are thrown in the air: if they all come down heads, the subject is executed.  That is about the same odds as the 1-in-a-million chance that we describe as the average everyday dose of acute fatal risk.”
