I wasn't saying it had been definitely shown. I was saying that it had been shown in the sense everything along those lines is shown in that it has quite a bit of evidence to support the hypothesis. It's also not about long term living. Who the fuck worries about 50 years into the future. Most people aren't looking much further than a couple of years.
I could live off a million for the rest of my life easy. I could buy a house, put the rest in a bank and live off the interest. Wouldn't even be hard to do. So I'm not sure where you got the idea it wouldn't last you 50 years.

Came to around this number again having forgot what I said in the first place. Having a house paid for, decent car and like at least 20k in the bank would make life so easy. Get a job you enjoy doing and just chill and enjoy life.
