Well, the good news is that there's still taxes.

Well, there's the laws of physics, and the Second Law of Thermodynamics pushing the arrow of time forwards. Beyond that, not much is actually inevitable: people just prefer to rationalize anything awful as Inevitable because this gives them a comforting sense of metaphysics.

2nd law of thermodynamics only applies on macroscopic scale. So not really inevitable.

Plus, the laws of physics are based on a set of axioms, which don't necessarily have to be true.

Well no. They're based on empirical observations.

I prefer the original title of the article: "The secret of living to 200 years old". Does what it says. Not sure why it was changed.

Death? I mean, if you will not die, you could die? And taxes of course.

Well, until now (and in the foreseeable feature) death is one of them.

I guess one would be that for life to exist it needs to use energy.
