The woman in this image is Jeanne Louise Calment. She was the oldest verified person ever recorded and famously lived to be 122 years old. She was born in 1875.

She and others who lived similarly extensive lifespans have piqued my interest as of late because I have contrived a conspiracy to explain a jarring article of unexplained information regarding such recorded longevity. Before I get into that, let me display some statistics to demonstrate the observations that led me to my conclusion.

The top 10 oldest people (all women) ever recorded are as follows:

  1. the aforementioned Jeanne Calment, born 1875

  2. Kane Tanaka, born 1903

  3. Sarah Knauss, born 1880

  4. Lucile Randon, born 1904

  5. Nabi Tajima, born 1900

  6. Marie-Louise Meilleur, born 1880

  7. Violet Brown, born 1900

  8. Maria Branyas Morera, born 1907

  9. Emma Morano, born 1899

  10. Chiyo Miyako, born 1901

Notice anything? All of these people, despite the supposed advances in medicine and longevity in contemporary society, were born from 1880–1907. That was over a century ago.

Now, I know that coincidences exist. Not everything is some “grand conspiracy”. However, this is simply too glaring; all of these people and many more down the list were born in a similar timeframe. The previous holders of age records were born therebefore. There is so much information from even the most prestigious sources about how lifespans are rapidly increasing, but none of the oldest people recorded were born even in the current millennium.

One would expect for at least a few of these people, even in the most bizarre of coincidences, to be born after 2000, or at least after 1957. But that is not the case. All of the oldest Earthians were born around the time of the LAST century’s turn.

There are many conclusions to be drawn herefrom. Is the government slipping chemicals into our food to decrease our lifespans? Are we all collectively eating worse? Is Armageddon coming? I am not a prophet, but I am a skeptic, and these are my findings. Infer from them what you will.

Anyway, I just wanted to point out this irregularity in the statistics. All of the oldest people to have lived were born a while back, which does not quite add up with the supposed lifespan increases we should have received. That is my piece.

  1. Lifespans even if they stay stagnant don’t even matter tbh, it’s the health span that counts and they sure as hell have been waning.

    People are aging way faster, collecting diseases that were once attributed to 50+ folk, in their 30s?!

    The GRAS, additives, gmo, ultra processed trash and medication for stuff that could be fixed with lifestyle intervention sure isn’t helping age better.

  2. this is gonna be hard to properly delve into because recordkeeping is not the same quality everywhere and its notoriously unreliable with records taken before computers

    i think a person would need to take population averages for adults only and go from there, because the high infant mortality in the past would skew the averages way down

    edit: another conflating factor will be people who immigrated back when those records weren’t super accurate, so you get at best rough approximations of age when landing

    “none of the oldest people recorded were born even in the current millennium”

    Yeah you’re right OP, I can’t argue with you there

    Eat clean, exercise, get a not parcularly stressful job. Enjoy it while it lasts it’s just a ride.

  5. I think your theory is probably right BUT it’s really tough to say it conclusively when you list a bunch of people that lived for around 120 years old but were born 120-150 years ago. Also it would be better to go off median age of death instead of the absolute extremes.

    The current oldest person alive is 116 born in 1906. Boomers won’t start touching 100 for another 20 years. I’m going to bet you don’t start seeing significant numbers of older people until you start getting Gen X to 90+ years old. That’s when not smoking and health consciousness really started to take effect.

    On the other hand, people could make false claims back then and it was much more difficult to prove it

  7. This is too obvious bro. Except apparently that does not matter for this braindead sub. So well done.

    Wow it’s wild to think that nobody born after 2000 is over 100…

    I have a theory on why we have so many 100+ in that age range… All these women would have been raising children during the Great Depression and in their prime… we know women went without food to ensure their children had enough.
    Basically because these women did extended fasts throughout a decade of their prime they lived longer.
    Read up on the benefits of fasting.
    However I agree the food we ingest now is leading to poor health and these women probably developed on better food

    Funniest post here for a while, I like sarcastic posts like this personally.

    Pesticides on our food are poisoning us slowly to the stronger and faster to the weaker immune systems.

    Ya, why aren’t there any hundred year olds born after the year 2000?! You know, 26 years ago.

    I can’t tell if youre trolling or an imbecile

  13. EefferyJpstein on

    How could any of these oldest people be born between 1957-2000? Explain your logic or is this a troll post?

    I agree with the sentiment to some degree, however my comprehension is that our DNA template (the field geometry of what translates Mind Force/Spirit into Matter) is the flower/lotus of life, and it got artificially truncated as can be seen with the most common result if you search for it. Thus, if we restore the field geometry to the full 37 circles via meditation, and further allow for restoration cascades (emotional and physical release of tension), then we A-OK 👍
