funny if it turns out Musk’s whole deal hinges on this elaborate humiliation fetish of his corporate lawyer
or an elaborately deniable attempt at courting Matt Levine??

was trying to find the mark kondratiuk jesus christ superstar performance but the first result was this bonkers gematria analysis. its a jesuit thing? or like, an anti-jesuit thing? hes like, a next level conspiracy theorist, he thinks that theres a conspiracy to make you THINK israel controls the world but actually jesuits control the world
Ah yes, “do we really live longer than our ancestors” articles, the theses of which always seem to be “well once you eliminate deaths by disease, violence, and really every factor other than natural causes in old age, and probably only consider the upper classes (because they’re all we have data for in many cases), the difference in life expectancy from adulthood is only 5-10 years.”
And like, I get that infant and child mortality doesn’t reflect what most people intuitively conceive as life expectancy (though it bears noting that youth mortality on such a scale that it substantially distorts life expectancy figures is also really bad), but I’d argue that things like reduced frequency of wars and other homicides, the presence of antibiotics and other modern medicines, and lower rates of extreme poverty, are exactly what most people think of when they think of factors that impact life expectancy, and it’s blatant cherry-picking to say we ought to treat them as inadmissible.
It turns out that, after controlling for life expectancy, moderns live about as long as Medieval peasants did.
