Who are the highest-ranking WWII officers who are still alive? Any divisional or brigade commanders? It might be hard to find a lot of them though - some really high-ranking Chinese generals from WWII died in really recent years (but they didn't even get Wikipedia articles until they died)

His Twitter is so choke full of the deaths of people he knew

Well, William P. Gerberding just died... (http://www.washington.edu/news/2014/12/29/william-p-gerberding-27th-president-of-the-university-of-washington-dies-at-85/) Obit isn't notable enough to make UK though. Are there any university presidents who are notable enough?

6 months ago, he still had phone conversations, watched TV/listened to audiobooks, was still mentally lucid much of the time, and enjoyed lots of peanut-butter-ice-cream... Now.. he's basically little more than a zombie. Certainly, a lot more has changed than meets the eye... The only silver lining is that he is lasting way longer than expected.

He's already a centenarian now, if you count time since his first heartbeat... https://manifold.markets/stochasticcockatoo/will-jimmy-carter-become-a-viabilit

TIl there's an AOE2 game mode called "exploding kings" When Carter dies, WE ALL DIE

He beat Charlie Munger

He seems to have a blistering wound on his lower right arm, too... He doesn't heal as well anymore

People can be frail/near-death for *many months*, like Billy Graham... And Billy Graham had way more progressive illnesses than Jimmy. Jimmy isn't bedridden yet.

He's reached the 6-month mark... only 15% of hospice patients make it this far.

None are you reading properly. A few months ago, they said "they thought he was near the end when was entering hospice", but then they were confident he would hit 99. That was when people outside his family could stlll see him. The prognosis now is much graver. Maybe he will oscillate in a more healthful direction (briefly) again, but I'm growing less confident of this "because he is older" https://manifold.markets/questions?s=score&f=all&q=jimmy+carter Given his importance and the amount of time he has spent in such extreme fraility while the world is watching, there's a good chance Jimmy Carter's health will uniquely be the one person's health people over the world will obsess the most over... until AGI... Whatever it is, his cause of death might just be "old age"... But it could just be heart failure, like Hans Bethe, who barely hung on for so long til he died... His grandson either said "Jimmy really is sick" or "Jimmy is really sick". These two could mean very different things - it's unclear which he really said. And while he still has some time left, his viewcount has now surpassed all but The Queen, and Prince Phillip... https://forums.deathlist.net/forum/2-deathlist-forum/?sortby=views&sortdirection=desc Whatever it is, I'm gonna bring attention to https://www.crsociety.org/topic/18346-how-long-can-someone-live-with-very-severe-fraility-or-when-bedridden-relevant-bc-jimmy-carter/#comment-46326. It's surprising that no one here also reads.. longevity forums or rapamycin.news or crsociety.org.... My time is better used on other things than this, but whatever, if I'm going to discuss end-of-life *once*, it better be here and then no-where-else (and [for childish reasons] it's unlikely I'll care about anyone as much in the rest of my life)
