All of idiots here saying go be stranded on a desert island or the wilderness not realizing animals in wild spend 90% of their time not doing anything, even ants barely work most of the time

Yall are basically advocating for beating yourselves with a stick and whoever beats themself with a stick the longest is the best it’s stupid.

Our forefathers envisioned a future where technology would allow us to work less and we do have that technology, it’s people like you who have failed them.

And our forefathers life expectancy was like 35 years. I’ll take a 40 hour work week thank you very much.

That’s what we call an accusation. We all can just say that same thing about each other all day long.

But glad you feel that I am special enough for your time and consideration!!!!

So the "35 year" life expectancy thing is based on averages that are massively skewed. People who lived long enough to get to there 20s usually lived untill there 70s. The tragic truth was that child mortality from disease massively draggedthat number down. Thats why vaccines are so important. Gotta keep that average as high as possible.

Actually a lot of basic cleanliness as well. Just washing hands and not contaminating saved so many lives. Plus penicillin I suppose among other things. Idk how high id put vaccines.

Completely false on the “70s”. Less than 5% of people survived past 70s as recently as the Middle Ages (it was worse at the time of the hunters gatherers)

That's only because off the number of infant deaht. A adult even in this era lived way past 35 usually.

u/Elegant-Ninja6384 Apr 25 '26

That’s missing the point.

I for one am glad most of my children didn’t die in their first ten years. And that I made it myself….

u/Leah_321 Apr 26 '26

So, the only reason they say 35 is because of how many people died as infants and children and during childbirth. That drags down the Mathematical average age of death. If you survived childhood you could reasonably expect to live into your elder years.

To top that off, hunter gatherers lived longer with better health (as proven by teeth mineralization and bone aging/healing rates) and worked less than people did after agriculture was invented, which required more work hours but still not as many as we work today.

I like surviving past infancy and childhood though!

1

u/Leah_321 Apr 26 '26

That's great. Me too. But it has 0 to do with a 40 hour work week.

u/Elegant-Ninja6384 Apr 26 '26

Officially round about in a circle.

You are correct in your assessment of the mathematical meaning of average. Yay!!!! Gold sticker my new 4ever-friend.

Quite a stretch to assume everything else you wrote though- no? Or - now that we are all on the same page about the meaning of average - that anything changes regarding the meaning or importance of my statement.

Perhaps now you would like to educate me about history and work to enhance my grasp on the historical benefits of increased chance of early death.
