re: Ben Shapiro's plan for fixing SS is for everyone to work until they die

The average life expectancy is 77.5 years

For someone my age full SS benefits kick in at 67

That would be 10 years, not 30

That's not quite how life expectancy works, though. The average FROM BIRTH is 77.5 years (I guess, looking at the table I linked, that would be men and women combined). However, by the time you hit 67, an American male has a remaining life expectancy of about 16 1/2 more years, while a woman has one of about 18.
