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.

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 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.
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".
