I think parent comment is going along the lines "Altered Carbon" tv series ( and novels ) thread.
For instance, if eternal life could be bought, the first one to buy it could be the richest man in the world. Parent is not happy with the idea of an inmortal ruler.
In the mean time, I would like to stay younger for longer. And older people are still afraid of death, even if they are not healthy.
- BizarroLand 5y agoMore like, if eternal life can be bought, the first one to sell it would be the richest man in the world.
- pas 5y ago> immortal ruler term limits. what I'm trying to say (besides that the Takeshi Kovacs trilogy is aweeeesome!) is that these problems are already here, and are already solvable. regular dictators consolidate their power in a 5-10 years. corporations/memes/ideologies/religions are already immortal. and so on, and so on. aging and death is basically a disease of the poor. the solution is not more aging/death, but less poverty.
