I’m still annoyed about this insult: “If you weren’t lucky enough to have been spoiled by the modern world you’d have died long before reaching your current age.” (paraphrased, of course)

Firstly, this is an indictment of the world at large, not of the intended target. Vulnerability is not blameworthy.

But furthermore the same is actually true of most people alive today. The median age right now is 30 and most humans who ever lived never saw the age of 20.

fellas is it weak to die of disease

lads was it spoiled of me to not die in infancy

Reminder that when you’re contemplating your human heritage the relevant demographic is not “humans who have ever lived” but “humans who have ever reproduced”, and the two demographics actually represent quite different experiences
