Reply to comment by Dandibear in Want To Live Longer? How Life Extension Industry Will Reboot Health, Wellness and The Economy by Responsible-Hat5816
Inequality? the bottom 20% of US in income earn more than most europeans do, its bad choices, not lack of money. Culture is the issue, stress is just a symptom. Shit diet, badly designed cities an so forth.Life extension is the only real transformative technology since... electricity perhaps. Imagine not having old people, instead we all can be productive and enjoy life for 200 years, not having to retire and so forth. This is the holy grail for society overall, not just 'rich people'. It would be governments first priority to make this accessible to all, the amount of money saved in treating age related disease and sustaining non-productive people is absurd.im sure this will be messed up with time and we still wont get our 15h/weeks, but hey. Thats a different story, and also cultural.
I for one, cannot wait for this to be real.
The amount of people who are afraid of this citing rich people living long lives is baffling, as if the only solution to problems is waiting for people we blame for problems to die. This is absurd.
