does the pointlessness of your life bother you?

also remember that a human life span was prob around 30 years before modern medicine. im pretty sure i wouldn't have time to be depressed if i had to grow up, have kids and take care of them until adulthood in a truncated timeline.

we are "wired" to be dead before this becomes an issue.

That is not the case. The increase in life expectancy is primarily due to reduction in infant and child mortality, not expanding the life span of adults.

A 15-year old in the Upper Paleolithic Era is estimated to have had a life expectancy of 54.
