Sure, but it goes both ways, a tourists NEEDS an health insurance to travel to
US. I'm pretty sure it's necessary even for those who benefit from the VISA

My personal philosophy admits the fact that this life might just be a training
camp for another life.

Hence, all the information learned in this one will be useful at some point in
this or another life.

Now I don't know what to do with this information.. I don't want to need it..

And then if fate really leads me to fall from a plane, I will definetely
remember this article which will seem infinitely funnier in mid flight.

Heck if I don't hit the ground laughing my ass off!

If you live N lives then the chance that this is the first is 1/N. I don't
know about you, but I don't remember anything from any previous lives, so it
seems to me there's a (N-1)/N chance you don't get to remember anything from
previous lives anyway.

It could be a question of soul distribution, though; if you can only have one
ghost in each machine, and there's the potential for a spacefaring
civilization to expand to many, many planets in the future, then it's possible
that the 50 or so billion people who have lived since humanity's birth
represent only a sliver of a fraction of the total number of souls needed to
staff a well-stocked universe. So we could potentially be heavily weighted
towards most people being on their first go-around if we have the potential to
make it that far and souls or selves
