Re: What's something you don't understand, even when it's explained to you?

[(Anonymous)]

The times when people died by age 35 were pretty rare, and there was usually a reason like a major war or famine going on. There is a reason that the old Bible (as flawed as it is as a historical tome and as a system of ethics) gave the age of man as being three score and ten (a score being an old way of saying twenty). If you made it to adulthood then your chances of hitting 70 were not that bad. It was just getting past the first ten years. Childhood mortality was huge (because they didn't have vaccines, that is why) back then. However, if you got to ten, there was a good chance you'd at least hit your mid sixties and beyond. And teenagers were still reckless morons. Shakespeare got at least one play out of it. The young kings either heeded what adult regents and mentors said or else... The ones that didn't tended to come to bad ends following a period of awful rule.

Most teens spent their teens as an indentured apprentice bound to a master to learn a trade too. The anomaly is right now where instead of whipping the stupid insubordinate teenage bastards for stupidity and forcing them to learn and to fall into better behavioral patterns. We give them this enormous leeway to act like shits and suffer virtually no comeback.

I shouldn't have mentioned that. I was trying to say I realize "people died by 35" is a huge misconception. (I can't believe history teachers actually teach it.) Apparently so were the other things I thought I understood.

Heh, fair point.
