Some bad/rough maths:

50k / 330M * 70 = 0.01.

50k from 330M per year assuming a 70 year average lifespan would mean 1% of the population dies by suicide. Not insignificant.

Pretty insignificant when we're talking about survivorship bias, though.

Fair enough. I guess I was prompted to post a reply because of the claim that "the suicide rate is not that high". I had heard the 50k figure in another recent story and found it quite shocking.

The point was just that it's not high enough to explain "Why, beyond middle age, people get happier as they get older" or to support the claim "those who are happy enough not to off themselves in one given way or another will scew the statistics".

Id like to specify that i never stated that people “off themselves” purely from suicide. Drugs, alocohol, suicide, social isolation are all fair gain when combating the strugles of humanity

You still don't have any stats to back this up.

Beither does OP
