but maybe that's a good thing. In my experience, most people are not flexible in their mindset and so are averse to change their ideas based on changing times. This would create a world like that of Altered Carbon where people at the top just keep accumulating resources and never die and their ideals never change.

Sometimes I still want my older relatives to stop being such damnable Boomers and get out of the way, in terms of how society is run.
