    The problem is that we are living longer and healthier than even before and the trend is to keep on rising.

    What the real problem is that allowing a person to actually live is troublesome for the current system in place, as in if you do not produce, you are not valuable.

    But you are.

        There are studies that point towars the increase of the auto imune diseases bit then there is the consensus that we are getting better and better at diagnosing those conditions.

        I’ll stay neutral on that.

        Diabetes always existed, as well as heart conditions and pretty much every single disease or malady capable of afflicting our species. Those are not novelties in our collective history; we are, fortunately, a lot more aware of it.

        Average life expectancy has been on the rise for many decades, regardless the hit of CoViD, and the tendency for growing life expectancy will continue.

        We’re going through a dark period but we are living longer and healthier than the previous generations and, hopefully, the next will live even longer and better.

        Specifically because other forms of death are significantly down…

        So yes the average is increasing… But the there are other things causing us some major road-blocks.
