Furthermore, while human life was "nasty, brutish and short" dying "in a blaze of glory" made some sense, trading just a few years. But as we live longer and and happier lives, that trade will be viewed as pathologically short-sighted.

In the Middle Ages, I understand that if you survived childhood then the demographics were largely what they are today. Its just that today, more people are surviving to adulthood?

So it never made 'sense' to die in a blaze of glory. Except for the immortality part.
