It’s not so much that I want a do-over on life, it’s just that I feel I didn’t really understand the rules on the first play through and want to experiment with different early game strategies. Please?
Getting a word in edgewise

if only it were that simple. 🙂
If it’s any comfort, medical advances will probably mean our generation lives to the age of 500, so you’re technically a toddler still.
Unless increased human population and mobility exposes us to a disease that makes HIV and smallpox look tame. The more population biology talks I go to, the more I suspect that it is more often disease, rather then predation, that keeps many large animal populations in check.
Unfortunately humans seem awfully close to becoming one big herd.
Counter-arguments are welcome (and comforting).
I’m sure humanity’s self-destructive path is more likely, I just enjoy serving up delusional optimism when my friends are down.
There probably will be longevity techiques involving cyber lungs and such, but only white male Republicans will be able to afford it.
I’m figuring the generation born 100 years from now will live significantly longer… whereas those alive now will see their birth, we’ll probably die around 70.
That’d be unfortunate, 70 is less than our parents, isn’t it?
My understanding is we’re the first generation to have a lower life expectancy than our parents. Disease aside, remember that almost a third of Americans are obese and nearly two-thirds are overweight, which kills you faster than anything besides smoking.
As far as in-shape Americans who don’t smoke, 70 is definitely a lowball estimate.
this is not your first play through.
How did you know? =)
I think that’s why some people like to read biographies. And, yah, I think that’s one of the rules, that you aren’t allowed to understand the rules until it is too late. Or maybe some people do. But, however many times people tell you things, it doesn’t matter, sometimes you don’t figure stuff out until you have the perspective to look back on it.
