It would be interesting to see this not including infant mortality.

From my understanding that is where most of the "life gain" in graphs like this have come from.

A graph of how much older people are living would be better represented "ignoring" for lack of a better word the babies dying

I feel like aircon wasn't as common back then, especially strong enough to cool all of that

Vegans hate this one weird trick

Couldn't that describe 95% of what LLMs?

It is a really good auto complete at the end of the day, just some times the auto complete gets it wrong

Socialise cost and privatise profits.

Been the play for awhile now.

This graph really just makes me think we are fucked, like really fucked, easily in the span of a human life time, if not a few years.

How will this not have crazy knock on effects?

Yet I still go to work and plan for the future and just live my life in some sort of daze. Still tell myself I'll find a wife and have kids one day.

I wonder if I just allow myself to live the ignorance is bliss life, the embodiment of the "this is fine" meme, like so many on this world. Easier just to go with the human flow as we slowly all jump off the cliff like a herd of buffalo.

I feel like I am slowly moving all my data being with Google to Proton. Makes me a bit uncomfortable to be all under one umbrella again.

At least so far it seems they are a decent company

A culture of glorifying tans, mixed with needing a reason to show off your southern cross tattoo, beautiful weather and free public BBQs at parks and beaches.

Remember to slip, slop, slap

Worth saying I am sort of playing devils advocate here.

Change it to what? It is easy to back seat yell "Capitalism Bad" but change to what? Every other isim has it's own laundry list of issues. Which one is least corruptible by sosciopaths?

You don't think sosciopaths are going to take more than there fair share in socialism, or skew the system over time? They aren't going to find their may to the top in every single form of government to change the rules to their desires?

Quite a few will argue that we aren't even in capatalisim any more, it has been corrupted and changed, massaged by "government" to the point of failure, the Austrian school of economics.

So it is easy to stand on the roof top and say "Capitalism is the problem" but it seems like a much deeper rot to me

Three screens billed as "business expense" actually used as a sim racing rig.

But you will end up filling any screen space you have. When coding I very quickly fill out the space, to see files and folders I am intereacting with, communication apps, websites, IDE, ticket screen. Some days I wish I had 4.

By that definition to get rid of capitalism we need to get rid of the people.
