Do you have more details on this subject? All I can find is hunger game references
‘Anprim’ is short for anarcho-primitivism, people who think advanced technology was a mistake and we should return to a simpler way of life. This ranges from ‘weird agrarian tradlife fantasy’ to ‘hunter-gathering was the peak of human society’, but in either case, many of the technologies which enable those of us not born with perfect genes to survive past the age of 20 - including many anprims - would be simply unavailable.
I believe that the low average lifespan of early civilizations wasn’t because of 30 being the natural cut off range for human life.
It was because of child mortality. So many of them died that it affected the average.
Child mortality was high, but so was the mortality of those of us with chronic health issues from birth, and the mortality of those whose potential skillsets were not suited to the society’s limited capacity to provide for non-providers.
Amazing how anprims are dumb enough to reject modern medicine.
While that is true, the reason child mortality is so much lower is better knowledge combined with modern technology.
The anprims would shun at least the latter part and experience a drastic increase as a result.
It did, but even if you made it out of childhood, you still didn’t live very long.
‘hunter-gathering was the peak of human society’
I love perpetually balancing on the edge of subsistence, one step below the agrarian societies that drove me out to the marginal lands unfit for more efficient cultivation! I want to be stuck in a loop of raiding other tribes in the attempt to drive them out of their hunting grounds, then having them raid mine in turn in an eternal struggle to get away from the precipice of doom!
I think it’s really hard from a modern perspective to gauge just how unpleasant life was. Nothing about low-tech farming is simple.

You never mentioned Google, bud.
I assumed you just slapped that into ChatGPT or something, since the actual definition was the first thing I found on Google.
I like that getting rid of glasses today is rejection of technology, while in Asimov’s Caves of Steel, wearing glasses was rejection of technology.
What’s anprim?
Edit: never mind. Answered elsewhere in the comments.
I feel like this has similarities to the trolly problem posts as well. As in there’s some kind of orange thing threatening us all there too, and we have the choice to put on our glasses or willfully not see what’s coming:-).
