The 'inequality life expectancy gap' is going to widen DRAMATICALLY over the next years, more and more.
We are learning so much about the unhealthy ways that have become default in 'modern life'.
Having followed much of the health research for the last many years, I've become consious to the fact that the world around us in cities is not built for health whatsoever. There are SO many constant things we are exposed to that are disrupting our bodies, from what we wear and what we eat/drink, what we put on our skin, what we breathe..
And that is just on the MINUS side. Ie the cost many average people are paying compared to what a natural life would be.
Add on top of that the potential PLUS side. Optimization protocols that are being discovered more and more that make our cells work in *better* than natural ways, age slower, more efficient mitochondria etc.
The floor on both MINUS and PLUS will rise much slower for the average person that for those really looking and focusing on this aspect, that will find the pockets of information and access to keep themselves healthy as they age.
It is not simply resources, it is even just the KNOWLEDGE because a lot of these improvements are free/low cost and just a matter of having enough mindspace to look at it.
Rich people will have more people around them talking about these things to hear about it from word of mouth.
Youtube, podcasts, Twitter one of the few equalizers of this inequality- but have to follow the right people. Thing is if you have good judgement to follow the right people you will automatically anyways get richer, hence the (poor healthy) quadrant will remain almost empty.
