I was trying to say causality goes both ways between “being rich” and “living longer”.

Of course there is a chasm. There are also mass murders of towns and villages on the Syrian coast right now, with the EU having reacted swiftly by condemning the victims, and the US having reacted only in words and proceeding to bomb Yemeni houthis with means more than enough to stop those mass murders.

There are storms, and there are still times, and there are times of abundance and of hunger.

Education (and learning) affects deaths of heart diseases and cancer. Say, my stupid, stupid dad during covid got ill (not with covid likely) and died from heart attack, because he was afraid to get infected by doctors (yes). Education also affects whether you become “poorer” or “richer”.

Heart diseases and cancer are affected by bad food habits, which are sometimes affected by executive dysfunction and addictive behavior, which also impede people from becoming “rich” directly.

And the longer you survive, the likelier you are to have successes yielding financial results.

So - maybe he doesn’t believe that, but I eagerly do, it just makes sense. Correlation is not causation.

This is a logical trick - the longer you live, the likely you get richer.

I understand everyone’s bias, but not why such pleasant to find moments are left ignored.

I think all reactions should be exposed.
