Every time I feel old I remember that all of my grandparents lived to well over 90 and that I'm barely halfway through my life. With modern medicine and the Boomers beta testing any advances, I'll probably live to 130 with good quality of life with just over the counter medication and regular automated cancer screenings.
And extra colon cancer screenings if I'm a good boy.
I can't afford to live as long as my grandparents.
Neither did they, but they borrowed from future generations.
Now ppl can't & even might not want to live that long.
I sure as fuck don’t.
80% of my time here has been fucking miserable, why the fuck would I want to to continue???
Ikr?
Like, I have statistical proof from my own life, at 99.5% confidence level I can say that the downhill trend will only accelerate, and the results of most of my life match the model completely.
I can't afford to live now, when I'm old and can't work, I might as well die because I certainly won't be able to afford to live.
I hope I don't make it to 80, that I don't have to muster the courage to action my principles. Let me die with meaning before I'm no longer contributing to our fight for dignity. A body without a brain is little more than a vessel for profit.
