4 Real Stories That Illustrate Huge Decline Of Russian Economy - EndtheMadnessNow - 04-20-2025
Have a listen to Konstantin that you won't hear anywhere else. Good bonus story at the end. Only 16 minutes. He's a genuine no BS kind of guy. April 18, 2025:
I use to watch his INSIDE RUSSIA vids all the time back when he only had around 20K subs (he has a very interesting back story on his Soviet life & aftermath), then like every other channel lost interest. Today, after watching a bunch of Russian vids Konstantin pops up in my feed.

Yeah. If they somehow extend their lifespan, at least I will be departing sooner or later, so there's that.
I have entertained the idea of an expanded lifespan and immortality, and I could probably deal with a few hundred years rather than, say, a decent 70 to 80-year lifespan. But in a case of four times the natural lifespan, after the first fifty years, I'd be living as far as I could get from other people. By one hundred, I'd be in space, or a cave underground, or underwater, or some place as secluded as possible. By three hundred, I'd probably be begging to die even if I retained my youth and vigor to that point. Even if my brain was healthy and fully functional, I'd have lost my mind long before that point.

there's a theory that men used to live much longer (in Genesis lifespans of hundreds of years are recorded) but the Creator shortened the life spans. Genesis 6:3 says "And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years." in Psalms we are told man lives for 'threescore and ten' years.
presumably God shortened our lives to cut down on the continous evil, and the accumulation from a long life.
imagine if Hitler had lived for 100 years. one reason WWII started when it did was, he was impatient, in his fifties, wanting to make things happen. a few more years and he might have had an aircraft carrier, missiles, and even a nuclear bomb. we are all very fortunate that didn't happen.
