Has the system finally cracked? Have the wealthy and powerful simply taken so much leaving the rest of us grasping at our very survival, easily manipulated into turning against other groups and even each other in an attempt to make sense of it all? Is society destined to destroy itself or descend into eternal servitude to our masters? How do we get out of this spiral of madness?

    Back then, there weren’t much of medical knowledge and medicine that prolong lifespans; people had much shorter lives and died young.

    That seems a bit incorrect. Of course medicine made a big leap over the last two centuries, but it was not worthless before.

    Also people had good chances to reach their 60ies or even 70ies once they survived their first 15 years.
