Stress through capitalistic food, competitive society, and competitive culture seems to be the culprit in the early deaths of westerners.

Those in the film not only have better diets but a greater community connection and greater environmental connection.

In the USA we kill overselves more quickly in order to work for dominant economic GNP and military power.

Living in a society where one spends a great deal of time under a boss, with competitive coworkers, and under an unaccountable regime with a manipulative economically motivated cutlure to boot.

No wonder we are so mentally ill and die so quickly.

When we compete for dominance - it used to be that our genes would benefit.

Now we're just acting out that legacy to our own detriment and bad genes are propagated equally.

It will now take genetic engineering to overcome these tendencies for subversive competition and eliminate the dysgenics that occurs now that everyone can breed unselectively.
