"people still die" Life expectancy was mid 30s in 1900. So extrapolating from this, humans could live to 200. Life didn't really get much better for the old though. Some people are sharp at 60. Some people are only living because they're hooked to all kinds of machines. "energy is as plentiful/scarce as today, just that it is green." Fusion breakthroughs have been coming in, which should drastically change things. There's also the newer more efficient nuclear reactors that Bill Gates has been trying to get into production. I expect energy to go up an order of magnitude within the next 30 years in both cleanliness and quantity. "rich people have a lot, the poor scrapes by." This has been the natural state of things for nearly all of human history. But economists are flagging inequality as a really important problem to solve, not necessarily because it's moral, but because it leads to political instability. We had an anomaly around the 60s though. Maybe it was trying to look good against the commies. Economists argue it could be tax and union policies. Whatever it is, it matter enough politically, that I believe we'll hit a 30 year phase of equality within the next century.
