enjoying this piece on record life expectancy increasing over time - the *insane* linear regression in 1840 - 2010 period just tracking record life expectancy over time (I think trend not consistent since, partic w COVID) - how funny it is that people keep publishing papers claiming life expectancy can't exceed some max and then it does, sometimes the same year graph pictured is record female life expectancy (highest of any country in that year) (y axis) graphed over time (x axis) - 1840 to 2020 https://t.co/rpBsW9nA81
I'm curious what the equivalent of the qualia of love will be in ~100 years (surprising, emergent property) - it feels (to me) like something I could never have predicted if I were 'guessing how single cell life would unfold'.
