While I tend to agree with you, a society where "everyone" lives to age 70-80 does require a re-think of many social structures.
For example, one could wonder how much of the mess of current US politics is because the average age of people in power is so far about 60?
- bovermyer 5y agoAre you saying that instituting the Carousel would simplify things?

Yes, the elderly also worked within prior socio-political configurations but I think we can agree bagging at Walmart is pretty distinct from doing artisanal crafting or agriculture.
