Lifespan has not increased.

The first eight generations of humans lived 900 years +/-.

Now we’re lucky to live to 100.

That takes the cake.

You are off your tracks.

The very reason social security is in so much trouble, other than the fact that politicians keep stealing the “trust” fund, is that people in general are living almost 20 years longer than they were in 1932.

Those who originated the idea of SS did not foresee the day when so many would live so long, in retirement for 20 or so years, coupled with the reduced birth rate resulting in fewer paying in and more getting benefits.

Here is an actuarial table:

Note that in 1932 life expectancy was 59.2.

In 1997 life expectancy had increased to 76.5.

I realize this is wasted on you as you have some sort of a comprehension problem, but there are others here who might find it interesting.
