How in fuck have you two made it to 2021 with these misconceptions about life expectancy intact

Life expectancy is not life span and modern practices have increased life expectancy by virtually eliminating many causes of childhood mortality, so life expectancy (which is an average) went from 30 or so to the high-70s/low-80s it is today thanks to the precipitous drop in young death. It's not like human beings normally die somewhere in their 30s and now we have more time thanks to good ol' science.

Our lifespan has not changed to anywhere near that degree, people in premodern times who survived childhood stood a very good chance to survive to be what we call senior citizens today.

I almost started to explain, from an evolutionary perspective, what my post meant. But your confidently incorrect attitude tells me it would just lead to me wasting my time

Take me for what I am -- who I was meant to be.
And if you give a damn, take me baby, or leave me.
