The Invincibility Hypothesis: How Setbacks Delay Your Death | MD-PhD student

Life doesn’t always go how you planned — but what if that’s actually the point? In this video, I share something I call The Invincibility Hypothesis. It’s the idea that every setback, delay, and failure might just be life’s way of keeping you alive a little longer. As a 5th‑year MD‑PhD student, I’ve seen how fragile things can get — and sometimes how strange survival can be. This isn’t about fate or magic. It’s a different way to see the chaos: that every detour might be an invisible act of protection. If you’ve ever felt stuck or unlucky lately, you might find this comforting. If not, that’s okay too.
