    I listened to a podcast about aging and statistics. Your highest survival chance is just when you hit puberty. After that your risk only keeps going up. There’s no evolution benefits with age.

      What I think is funny (and oddly satisfying mathematically) is that life expectancy goes up as you get older. Like, at birth your life expectancy may be 75, but those who make it to 70 are predicted to live, on average to 80, and if you make it to 80, you are predicted to make it to 85 and so on (I don’t remember the exact numbers).
