Who did it better?
Physicians conspiring to destroy our health with drugs, poor diet, and no exercise?
Or
The technologists who built this digital prison?
“The road to hell is paved with good intentions.”
Discussion
That's a hard one. But I know a man evil enough to have done and still do both: Bill Gates.

Physicians take the Oscar for most profound fuck up. 100%
They successfully conspired to mass #murder #millions of you with #covid and so-called #vaccines. Both of which are #bioweapons. And they succeeded.
They have killed over 30 #million of you with #HIV and #AIDS. Over 70 million of You are infected with #HIV, and are terminal. Meaning that whenever you die, it will be with or from HIV.
HIV/AIDS cam from a lab. Just like SARS-COV-2 (Covid). So did the H1N1 pandemic, and many others..🤡🤑💉☣️🤮🥀⚰️💀
China uses “well intentioned” tech to steal the rights of 1.4 billion people. Your numbers are weak AF. 🫂
Well, I'd say the technologists. If there's not so much censorship and deliberate lies and fear mongering about alternative/natural treatments etc. online, more people would readily have access to all kinds of alternative health information, then the "important" role of a western medicine doctor would be challenged greatly. Then try they may, their misleading won't be so weighty like it is rn.
I would probably agree, but if our screen time is over an hour today, is it western medicine’s fault?
An hours worth of screen time is no where near as destructive as the 10 chronic and immune diseases the typical person has today.
We are the sickest and least healthy generation to ever inhabit this country in its history. Possibly to ever walk the earth. People have been conditioned to think this is normal, but the entire country is horribly diseased and malnourished.
I’d bet an entire Bitcoin on it: from the perspective of health, the amount of poisons we ingest daily, our views on incessant medical intervention, we will look back on this era in absolute horror.
These stats are usually skewed as they don’t remove infant mortality from the data. If you remove people who died before the age of 2 the gap is not nearly as wide.
Modern medicine has reduced infant mortality greatly, for which I’m grateful, but those who survive early childhood really don’t live that much longer.

The 35 yo age in 1776 is AVG life expectancy. It is heavily weighted low due to a high infant mortality rate and the smallpox epidemic. Once people escaped childhood, it was not unusual for them to live in their 80s or 90s. John Adams lived to be 90. Thomas Jefferson was 83. Ben Franklin was 84. John Jay was 83. Samuel Adams was 81.
The last 38 years of those lives isn't worth living. And the last 3 years will have hammered that number down at least 5 years if you look at any of the realistic estimates of how many people over age 55 "died suddenly".
Life expectancy ≠ life quality
It’s the same Keynesian mistake they make in chasing higher GDP without any means to assess quality of the products or robustness of the economy.
The comparison isn’t a simple “how long do people live,” there’s a much more important question of “for the people who live to be 70, whether 100 years ago or today, which one still has their mental faculties, how many chronic disorders do they have, how many medications are they on, what can they actually do in their daily lives?”
The large part of life expectancy increase has come form *infant mortality* rates dropping. Which is amazing! But little of it has to do with how long and how well the lives of the elderly have improved. In many ways the opposite has occurred. The statement that “people in their 30s were about to keel over” isn’t true. It’s that people who lived in their 70s were being averaged with a huge number of infants who were dying in the first year. While older ages have increased some, quality of life and health in mid to older ages has been largely terrible.
Worst of all, life expectancy has stagnated and started to *decline* over recent decades.
Lastly, the incredible advances in medicine have been in *mechanical* intervention: surgeries, repairs, artificial replacements, basically the hardware version of human rebuilding tech. I fully recognize the insane advances there — Where I specifically said we have failed is *health,* which isn’t the same thing at all: that’s in how we treat patients, how we think about healing, quality of life, amount of chronic disorders the average person deals with in their daily life, the grotesque amounts of pharmaceuticals the average person is on, and the historically shocking levels of mental disorder and loss of mental capacity with age.
The fiat system has normalized compartmental thinking which obscures the truth and aids state driven narratives.
Probably comes from “trust the expert” memes that statists push…?…
Just thinking out loud.
I feel like it goes beyond that. The entire way of thinking about health care, wellness, the economy, etc has been coopted by the state via control of the education system.
Why is Austrian economics not taught in school?
Why are holistic systems of medicine not taught in schools?
Look at what is taught in schools today and you will see how the state programming begins. ✨🙏
So what’s your hypothesis of the proximate causes?
The state has co opted the education system in every way to reinforce MSM (state sponsored) narratives.
So I think we're saying the same thing. When I think of narratives, I assume they are coming from MSM. But actually, they start earlier in the life cycle. Even children's TV shows and movies have some elements of predictive programming (someone recently posted a Disney clip of Pinocchio in 1940 which talked about sending boys to an island to become men). So many agendas.
Living a miserable unhealthy few decades at life’s end also makes life more impoverished for the younger generations.
I'm glad I read your post before posting. I was going to mention the same fact that the short life expectancy was due primarily to high infant mortality. I could also add that there was a lot more death of pregnant mothers as well, but the infant mortality had the biggest effect on life expectancy numbers.
I do agree, we are a sick society and physicians, as a whole, have been a (major?) contributing factor. Particularly more recently.
The AMA et al, being run by a monopoly cartel organ, make sure that only the most psychopathic people get licenses, otherwise they'd have trouble selling their industrial poizons. Not only do they then charge way above what they would with competition, the "service" is a bit like the scene in Lynch's dune where the doctor is caring for the Baron's skin condition.
From what I hear physicians suffer equally in our broken system. It is an interesting domain: growing demand, deteriorating working conditions and deteriorating wages (across the entire pyramid) with increasing cost to end users. To me the entire field is screaming for a economic solution. Is this somehow analogous to EVs b4 Elon?
Yeah it’s less “physicians” specifically and really just the incentives and structure of the entire healthcare institution. And the mindset around it is backwards. It’s funny because it’s SO similar to the Keynesian economics backwards view: that the “data results” of a healthy person can be artificially created through intervention, and this will mean the person is actually healthy. Similar to how the government says “i see the middle class has houses, let’s manipulate prices and debt to get as many people into houses as possible, and this means we will have a robust and healthy middle class.”
What they fail to recognize is that there is a mindset difference, an understanding of value, different behaviors and choices that *enable* someone to sustainably own a home, you can’t reverse causality. Shoving a bunch of people into homes who can’t afford it, and haven’t yet grown in the way that makes it work for their life and choices, only causes disaster and a facade of wealth over a fundamentally deteriorating society.
It destroys the feedback mechanism that creates middle class **values,** in order to get the appearance of middle class **results.**
Our healthcare mindset is shockingly similar & has extremely similar consequences. Like 80% of the country is on permanent pharmaceutical intervention to give the “apparent results” of what a healthy person might have. And rather than figuring out what is causing chronic inflammation and pain, we’ve specialized in medications that suppress the body’s inflammation response, and put them on new advanced pain killers, so they can walk around as if they are healthy and vibrant, only to have the underlying damage essentially covered up & ignored. And we pay for it dearly 10-20 years down the road.
Thanks for putting this crazy phenomenon in clear words 💯
