Huaco Kid Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 It's a non sequitur. Once you reach 40 / 50 years old, you could never ever outrun even the biggest carnivore. Like with a soon-to-be hibernating bear, we all got slurped up like so many acorns spread across the ground. We died young, and we reproduced younger. Once you are done reproducing, nature really has no reason to keep you around. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Politics, yes. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a definite survival advantage to using oldsters as babysitters to free up hunter-gatherers for shopping. Look how the lack thereof has hurt our society. Folks mention how all successful societies revere their old folks, but I think it's the other way around - societies which don't revere the oldsters aren't successful. But I could be proved wrong... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

railfancwb Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 I remember The Waltons, a popular TV series. Industry must have hated it. Three generations living happily in a single house. Consider all the McMansions not built, the stoves and refrigerators and washers and dryers and probably even motor vehicles not manufactured and sold if the nation returned to multi-generation households. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I could be proved wrong... this. I think you are right. China and Japan are headed in the wrong direction with this, and we are already there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn't we have made a recovery? Maybe we don't live as long because of the sin in our cultures? Regardless, you can never really live until you are ok with dying. Make the most of what you have now. I am blessed to be a blessing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
