Soon, we will ALL be on a podcast.
Exponentially increasing podcast involvement by the entire population will then lead to a crisis (think Dutch tulip bubble) where no-one is actually listening to podcasts
spinning everything into a podcast listenership collapse, ending podcasts forever .., 😬😳🫨💥🔥
If you could make it out of childhood in the Middle Ages, you had a good chance of making it into your 60s. Infant mortality and childhood death through diseases drags the life expectancy downwards

The “medieval people were tiny” story doesn’t hold up. Skeletal evidence shows some early medieval Europeans were as tall as or taller than later populations. #History #Archaeology #Science

People in the Middle Ages were not uniformly shorter than people today, or even shorter than people in later centuries; the best skeletal evidence shows strong regional variation, with early medieval northern Europeans often as tall as or taller than many populations in the 1700s and 1800s. New Light on the “Dark Ages” The simple “medieval people were tiny” story does not fit the data from excavated skeletons or long-run reviews of European stature.
