In the past they would’ve been old and grumpy and then died before they could cause real problems. Now with old people living longer than ever they can fuck things up for the rest of us.

I know this is a political post, but I’m going to respond to the longevity part
Telomeres in the human genome would indicate the maximal lifespan of about 120 years.
I don’t think it’s normal for humans to become diminished as they age. Dementia, Alzheimer’s, type 2 diabetes, these are not historic problems. These are new plagues of prosperity that we’re dealing with in the modern context.
Something with our industrial food system, or our medical system, or are farming system… Is making old age less graceful then it could be.
My new life goal: live long, die fast.
