Bolaire, to his most beloved friend: will you please kill my body? I need you to make it as violent as possible

Like, first of all, nobody is doing it like Hal/Bolaire, and secondly I appreciate that Liam "this one time I roleplayed through one of my besties strangling me to death" O'Brien is getting his enrichment

(Taliesin is also getting all the enrichment from being a creepy creature, of course)

What is going on here is the substantial impact of absolutely staggering infant and child mortality. Under these assumptions, by age 10, fully 50% of all children born are already dead; only about 45% of all children make it to adulthood as we generally define it (around 18 years). And as a reminder that is only for live births – we have not yet considered miscarriages, stillbirths or maternal mortality. This enormous child mortality rate is not an accident of a particular ancient society, but in fact an absolute constant for all pre-industrial societies, be they hunter-gatherers, pastoralists or farmers, be they urbanized or not, ‘civilized’ or not, ‘western’ or not. For all societies, everywhere at every time before about 1750 (and in most places for a long time after that) it was simply a fact of life that half, HALF of all children died
