Or just take a different phone with you if you're that worried about it.

I mean yeah, maybe, but this is how everything works

The Cheese and the Worms was lovely. It also dissuades you of any notion of the idyllic past, the sheer weight and organization of the totalitarian church was impressive.

First heart transplant lived for 18 days post-op, it has to start somewhere.

A lot of British bio/med researchers in the US too

This is a very utilitarian view of learning. Mass education isn't meant just to teach you marketable skills, it's quite explicitly designed to create a shared understanding of the world, a nation.

Height is controlled by genes too and you don't get people shorter than 0.5 m or taller than 3 m

It's very likely that aging is driven by some kind of scheduled gene program. It makes perfect sense to phase out individuals from a group-level selection point of view.
