[Beginning of recorded material] 

Scott Douglas Jacobsen: The difference between the high lived societies and low lived  societies is about a 2x.  

Rick Rosner: When you have a terrible failed state, where people are struggling to get food and  there’s civil war and stuff like that, of course, there’s going to be – in a general sense, I live in LA.  My car is going to last longer than if I lived in Minnesota given that I take care of the car in the  same way in each place because in Minnesota the car is going to be eaten up by road salt and bad  weather. 

But, and then, women, for one thing, menstruate – bleeding every month means that they have  lower levels of iron. Iron binds to cholesterol, which lead to a buildup of plaque in the arteries.  So, that’s one factors.  

Women have that whole extra chromosome. The Y chromosome is kind of crappy. It doesn’t  have as much instructions. It’s all stubby. If you have two X chromosomes, you have extra  genetic instructions. Women carry the offsprings. They are more necessary. Men are more  disposable culturally, evolutionarily. There could be a zillion reasons.
