> Most humans ever born, are still alive today This is not even close to being true

  It's not, but I can see how it seems that way - I found this with a two second search: The world population increased from 1 billion in 1800 to 7.7 billion today. I'm not going to do the math but there's something to be said about how many we are today vs. even 200 years ago. But, no, the majority of humans ever born are not, in fact, still alive today... https://ourworldindata.org/world-population-growth https://ourworldindata.org/world-population-growth
