  We'd be so cautious we'd never leave our homes in the first place. When there is that much at stake any risk is going to be too much. People will call each other daring for walking across the street or leaving a window open. Also, the whole world would be owned by the few people that were there since the beginning, with them seeking rent on everybody else. You'd be hip deep in debt to the ruling class from day one. Forget about democracy in a setup like that.

    I see it as more hopeful than that. With a long time to think about things, I think people would cooperate to organize society better. If their lack of organization for 100s of years leads to no improvement in quality of life, eventually they'd do something about it. Also, with that much time, differences in education would smooth out, and even people who started with a small amount of resources would eventually be able to build up to financial independence, which gives labor more negotiating power.

    Or they’d install better public transit and monitor air pollution more carefully.
