    I’ll take an industrialized society over an agrarian almost hunter-gatherer society anyday, even with a mid-life crisis

    Romanticizing a society without antibiotics and modern healthcare, with a life expectancy of 40 is the height of stupidity

      1. Their life expectancy is around 70.
      2. Who’s romanticizing? The study says that mid life crisis isn’t a biological imperative. Therefore, there is a way to avoid it.
      3. False dichotomy. It’s not an either-or scenario. We can build more options. Several, actually.
