We have to hang onto our mental health because it leads to bad physical health that we all need to be as good as we can physically. You're not wrong here. I can't believe I stumbled into this channel!
Yeh iunno if I agree with that bit about us having to give up extended lifespans to reduce strain on ecosystems. I'm sure Improvements to medical technology and such could allow life expectancy to increase (or at least decrease slower until reaching a stable level) if the right life style changes were made I think it's unlikely we'll make those changes but I can't imagine it would be physically impossible
I seem to remember seeing a paper about how that, if humanity were to live perfectly sustainably and equitably, we'd be able to maintain the quality of life of Switzerland in the 1970s, which is a far cry from returning to preindustrial life expectancies
Future generations will have the benefit of knowing the importance of hygiene, disposal of sewage, how diseases spread, etc., so I don't think that (on average) life expectancy would drop that low again barring something like war or new diseases. Even with limited access to medicine, that knowledge alone will be a huge benefit (and its importance guarantees it will be preserved and prioritized so long as we can). This is more for understanding how unprecedented our current expectations are--once we can recalibrate those expectations, it's a step toward acceptance and moving forward more peacefully.
@@buckleberry4259 you say once we recalibrate our expectations, as though that's something normal people can do in one lifetime, this video is nice self soothing but normal people are gonna bring about a lifetime of stress and suffering for all of us
In my country retirement age currently is 67, and by the time I'm that age (I'm 57 now) they expect it to be 67 and 9 months. For the people with nice, good payed jobs, I think that's okay. But for the people with low payed and often physical jobs that's to late, specially given that they die much younger.
