The luck has always been more relevant on the front end - not the back end of a life cycle

Human longevity over thousands of years has had a pattern where if you survived to 30 humans where likely to sail another 40. This is remarkable but true.

It has always been more difficult to survive to adulthood than into old age. Infant mortality and childhood diseases etc.

The above has always been my understanding. Prove me wrong, bruh.

Ironically, there is no purpose to living past 50 as your children are typically adults by that point. Biologically, you serve no purpose past 50.

Western fertility recently has gotten kinda wack but as soon as trans men conquer the pregnancy hurdle we’ll be back on track.
