#23"..skin covered in soot and pus..", "..diet.. ..rotten meat and unsanitary water..", "..fond of smoking..". "..dies at 94". I don't even know what to say. Those two snippets can't be in the same sentence right? I'll think twice before telling my kids to "eat healthy and don't smoke"!
He probably didn't ingest sugar and fats, also had a life without anxiety.
Fasted by default, heat and cold exposure every day, carnivore diet if he only ate rotten meat.

#24There is a popular russian joke I just recently heard told that has a bumpkin from the village say to his buddy, hey, you know, my friend got a French girlfriend and she's so dirty! Why, asks his buddy? Well, she takes a bath every day!
Can you explain this one?

Yeah, well, if he had really good genes (with few genetic defects), maybe he would have lived another 15 years or so if he had a clean diet and good living conditions.
Show me a guy that lived in the same conditions and lived 5 years or more past the current world record (116 years) and then I'll take more notice.
Meanwhile, I'll drink my clean water or enjoy my clean and clear skin for what time I do have left.

But porcupine was best. I mean, say what you will, he still had a discerning palate.

"hey kids, stop playing outside and come eat this rotten meat we cooked! After dinner we'll have some cigarettes"
* we didn't cook

#29Hygiene => reduced risks of infection => increased lifespan.
Should we also get excited when people die from smoking after a century, eating frogs for breakfast, or growing insanely long nails?

They get so dirty so quickly they need to bathe way more often than someone who does not play in dirt and filth.
