Western Culture has Abandoned Wisdom and Replaced it with “Science” – Ignore the Advice of “Scientists” if you Want to Live Long!

Being in my mid-60s now, I am entering into a phase of life that Western culture generally refers to as my "senior years." Outside of Western culture, especially in many Asian and Middle Eastern cultures, this is the phase of life that is equated with "wisdom," recognizing that people who have lived on this earth the longest, have generally accumulated the most wisdom, and such people are to be respected for having reached this age. In Western culture, however, older people are looked upon as feeble and senile. They are considered mostly by the group they belong to in Western culture, the "seniors", which is a group that is a goldmine for the medical scientists and their drugs. In what is pure insanity for most other cultures around the world, American seniors are taught to "retire" around the age of 65, and take life easy, when in fact they are usually smarter and wiser in their senior years than the younger people running the world, and should just do anything BUT retire. There is one caveat to this principle, however, and that caveat is that you have to reach your senior years without being dependent upon the pharmaceutical industry, which will do everything they can to render your life mostly meaningless as they attempt to make you a life-long consumer of their toxic products. Seniors are seen as a burden to society, and especially to the medical system, as the drugs and surgeries that are marketed to them generally prevent them from participating in the workforce, dependent upon Government subsidies such as Medicare and social security. Understanding this western mindset, it is easy to understand the insanity of an article that was published yesterday in The Guardian that attacked the wisdom and sound advice that came from the oldest recorded person in the world who just died at the age of 117, and commanded people to listen to scientists instead.
