Life Expectancy


Life expectancy has increased rapidly since the Enlightenment. Estimates suggest that in a pre-modern, poor world, life expectancy was around 30 years in all regions of the world. In the early 19th century, life expectancy started to increase in the early industrialized countries while it stayed low in the rest of the world. This led to a very high inequality in how health was distributed across the world. Good health in the rich countries and persistently bad health in those countries that remained poor. Over the last decades this global inequality decreased. Countries that not long ago were suffering from bad health are catching up rapidly. Since 1900 the global average life expectancy has more than doubled and is now approaching 70 years. No country in the world has a lower life expectancy than the countries with the highest life expectancy in 1800.

Fewer people are hungry, more people are literate, violent crime is down, child labor is almost wiped out, more people have access to basic needs... whats so "absurd" about stating things are getting better?


We are headed towards a recession + Silicon Valley bubble pop*...

Now isn't the time to be celebrating unless you plan on deploying capital to scoop assets below market value


*This will lead to statist solutions

There are only statist solutions at this point.
