    Warning: swear language ahead

    Da fuck “productive” is, for fuck’s sake. Anyone thought of not running human intelligence into fucking ground over a period of… what? Roughly 60 - 20 = 40 years?

    Or what, humans can’t think after retirement age because <insert some bullshit>?

    You absolutely can have any percentage of <insert random age group>, provided human wellbeing is being taken care of, constantly and in all aspects

      Be productive as in literally just that: produce the goods society uses to sustain itself. Intelligence is only one part of the equation here (the rest of it being energy, physical wellness, etc), and even that deteriorates shortly after retirement age when people enter their 70s.

      Also I have no issue with swear words, but just spamming them doesn’t substitute for an actual basis for your argument. Unless you want 70 YO people to work factory production lines, they are for all societal purposes unproductive.
