There's a strong correlation between IQ and life expectancy, possibly mostly genetic
Twin studies have tended to indicate that IQ is quite dependent on socio-economic status (thereby raising the question of what IQ is actually _measuring_, but anyway...). Socio-economic status is also highly relevant to life expectancy.
Has anyone come across anything on these insurance plans? I'm sure it's something many companies would love to do but I remain skeptical.

You are in aussie and drink 7/11 coffee by choice? Turn in your Australia card mate...
Not everyone in Australia lives in Melbourne :) (just the best coffee drinkers)
Doing it this way also takes care of the cheating concern, it’s a reward I can only get by physically doing the work.
Plus, it gives me a quiet time to watch everything including the Star Trek back catalogue.
And I don’t live in Melbourne so honestly brown water with a gram of sweet is a synonym for coffee.
I bike 15+ miles a day but my work's discount program doesn't "support" biking. If I was into vigilante justice, I'd consider a solution like this too. But as it is, I'm quite content biking for my own sake rather than some pittance of a benefit.
I will also share another famous quotation of mine which I intend to eventually get tattooed somewhere (when I can figure out how to make it look good.. I have no tattoos): "Make game of that which makes as much as thee." - from The Rubiyat by Omar Khayaam.
I did something similar in college. A company paid cash for installing software that displayed ads on the bottom of your monitor. It qualified your ad viewing activity based on mouse movement. At night I would open the software, wrap my mouse cord around an oscillating desk fan, then go to bed. Earned myself $50/month

What did the Delhi residents themselves think about cobras? Were the natives OK with cobras running around and it was just the British that wanted to reduce the population? I'm curious because if everybody disliked wild cobras loose in the city I'd have expected the breeders to kill their stock when the bounty ended, not free it.
Why would you expect that in a world where people dump hazardous waste into rivers to save money?
That mostly comes down to insufficient education, greed and lack of immediate consequences.
Letting a live snake roam free is entirely different in that an uneducated man would understand the risk, there is no upside and there is a possibility for immediate consequence.
This would presumably work as long as your insurance provider doesn't have access to your location or any other means of figuring out that your exercise routine is odd.
