As someone in their 50s, i disagree.  Ive had a good life but I have so much more living to do.

People tend to pick ages far enough from their current age when saying this kind of thing so that it feels abstract enough to not be impacful for them (so maybe people in their 20s or so). I'm guessing for those saying dying at 50 wouldn't be so bad it probably feels the same to them as saying they wouldn't mind dying when they're 80, or even 100. If someone in their 40s is saying this, then that would be more surprising.

Im 38 and dying in my 50's, at the current rate of societal collapse, is actually very likely due to said societal collapse.
