I just pissed myself from laughing

I got AI to rewrite what you said because my English is bad. "You’re not the one doing the calculations or working through the problem — it’s the AI that’s doing the thinking for you." yep. I can see your point now.

From my granddaughter age 4 while I was trying to drive a car. Why did the duck cross the road? Answer It was the chicken's day off. That was Ok the first 5 times, so she changed it. Why did the cow cross the road? To get to the Moo vies. Why did the chicken cross the road? The duck had a day off.

My first language is English, and I failed it, along comes AI and I am able to type my poorly written thoughts out in 200 words. I then ask AI to rewrite, All of a sudden I pass English. (I now asked AI to rewrite) "My first language is English, but I struggled with it in school and even failed the subject. Then along came AI. Now, I can type out my rough, unpolished thoughts in a couple hundred words. After asking AI to rewrite them, suddenly my ideas are clear, structured, and well-expressed. The result? I would actually pass English." I faced a similar challenge when trying to develop a formula to calculate the proper size of a wheel chock for a wheel resting on an incline. After months of struggling through the math, I eventually managed to reach an answer. Later, I asked AI the same question — and it produced the exact same result in just one second. I believe that if I do the initial work, it is Ok to have the assistance of AI.

We know the proximate causes of aging — DNA damage, telomere shortening, stem cell exhaustion — but these explain only how we decline, not why biology allows it. To understand the deeper reason, we need to look at evolution. Life began as bacteria and other simple organisms, which can divide indefinitely under the right conditions. But once multicellular life emerged, a split occurred: some cells became germline (immortal), while the rest became soma (disposable). The body exists to protect and propagate the germline, not to maintain itself forever. Repair systems are “good enough” to support reproduction and child-rearing, but evolution never invested in perfect, indefinite maintenance. Why not? Because in evolution, the individual matters less than the species. Fertility provides the clue. Humans, like most animals, do not remain fertile forever. Younger parents produce healthier offspring, while older reproduction carries risks of deformities, miscarriages, or maternal injury. Ending fertility ensures that fresh, young breeding stock continues the species. Older individuals can then take on other roles — caring for children, sharing knowledge, supporting the group — without competing for reproduction. This principle extends across life. • Dogs show stark contrasts: large breeds live short lives compared to small ones, though all descend from wolves. Puppies overflow with energy, but by seven years many are sluggish and heavy. • Bees live only months, yet the hive can thrive for years. The queen herself is replaceable, because the colony matters more than the individual. • Moss and some microbes can survive frozen or dormant for thousands of years, but this strategy trades complexity for endurance. Even the so-called “immortal jellyfish” (Turritopsis dohrnii), which can revert to its juvenile stage, demonstrates the trade-off. Its simplicity allows recycling of its body, but it remains fragile and easily eaten. Humans and other complex species evolved beyond this — embracing aging, death, and turnover as part of survival. Thus, aging is not a biological mistake but a species-level adaptation. Evolution “chose” repair systems that last just long enough to reproduce and raise offspring. Beyond that, resources are better spent on the next generation. Death frees space, food, and energy for the young; it also ensures that populations keep turning over, allowing genetic diversity and adaptation to changing environments. In this light, death is not only inevitable — it is necessary. Without aging and mortality, evolution itself would grind to a halt.
