What was the thing that was shared a couple days ago?
Nature wants 5/7 of your kids to make it and for you to die at 50 or something...
So people who want to live a traditional life are ok with that or they still want the benefits of society while not participating in it?
Lol that's low-key overly optimistic
50? The human body expires by 25 and there's no teeth left, also they should already be dead because of child mortality
Our lifespans are 60-70 years and have been even in those times.
Child mortality just lowered the average to around 30. A lot of babies died, but if you managed to get to your teens, it wouldn't be unreasonable by any standard to assume you'll get to 60-70.
Our "three score and ten".
"There's no teeth left"?
I mean unless they smoked a lot of crack or meth back then, idk where the teeth would've gone. Sure they had worse healthcare but probably also a healthier diet for their teeth.
In typical USA society, precarious access to healthcare due to exorbitant prices certainly helps keep the average population age down.
Only for the poors. While the rich grow ever older and more dirty.
Nature doesn’t want anything. It’s not a person. It’s not even a thing. It’s just an idea.
You dropped that
